| | In a week when a team of teenagers invented a chewing gum with nutrients designed to lower anxiety, when we learned a Dutch crew has been hired to clean up the San Gabriel rivers in California in time for the 2028 Olympics, when a New Zealand grocer is showing off a rare chimera apple that is half red and half yellow, and when an athlete from Nepal set a new Guiness World Record byy descending 100 stairs while walking on his hands,, we're still talking games here on Meeple Mountain. |
