I hope he married her for the money.

Perhaps the squeaky voice has driven him mad.

Because back then it was understood that there is nothing like a 20-sided die to drive a child to the DARK SIDE. Really, they should have been banned.

If I ever own a race horse I'll name him Twenty Sided Die. I'm sure he'll inspire mass mayhem and eeeeeeevil.
I made a football league and a horse racing league/circuit out of a 20-sided die.

If you could get "ISS" or In-School suspension. You'd get locked in a room with Mr. North all day ... and he was so oblivious he'd let you have all the fun you can manage with a notebook and 20-sided die...in between a lunch break, of course.

Unlike with Julius Caesar, the die was never cast, it was rolled as quietly as possible on top of padding.

As I recall, a certain number would sideline a horse with an injury in between races. A second roll would occur to determine how severe the injury was.

Nothing is more tragic than witnessing the demise of a promising horse in your paper and dice horse racing game.

What? Was Warren's Kitten already taken?
