I don't know whether they're licensed or not, but I know that outside North America, the Scrabble trademark is owned by Mattel, not Hasbro. So any trademark lawsuits outside North America wouldn't involve Hasbro at all.
Actually, grandmasters don't usually get that far. Generally the grandmaster's playing partner resigns and goes home before the grandmaster can make his final moves to go all the way.
For some reason, I read your subject line as "Defund the realm!" and I thought it was entirely appropriate. Defunding people may be his greatest skill.
Here's what I don't understand: Why does mentioning evolution make this a religious issue? It wouldn't be an issue of church and state if the stickers said, for example, "Einstein's theory of relativity is a theory, not a fact." Our understanding of evolution is in the domain of science. It has nothing to do with religion.
Every place named Springfield is, in fact, a link to the same place. There is, in reality, only one place in the universe named Springfield, although many places connect to it.
Nintendo, the revolution we're looking for has a lot less to do with the hardware.. and a lot more to do with the games!
Which is why I can't even find time to play all the games I've bought in the past month or two: Metroid Prime 2, Paper Mario, Pikmin 2, Donkey Konga, Mega Man Anniversary Collection... they're not all platformers or adventures like Mario or Zelda. But they're all fun, and worth playing when I have the time. And those are just the games I've bought recently, there are plenty more. I don't think there's a shortage of GameCube games.
I can just see George Lucas being nominated as Secretary of the Ministry of Truth to revise history continually according to his artistic vision. That is scary.
If sombody missed the date of birth of George Washington, it would likely be caught.
On a completely tangential note, it's interesting that you picked this particular example. It's not necessarily clear whether Washington's birthday should be known as February 11 or February 22, since he was born in 1732, before the colonies adopted the Gregorian calendar.
I don't know of any work in making programming languages amenable to speech recognition. Not to say there is none, I just don't know about it. But I do know of a prototype system for writing Java code using spoken language. It's called NaturalJava.

For everything else, there's someone else's MasterCard?
(Sorry, that was a bad one.)

of what possible value is a really big prime number?
Here's one possible value: 2^25,964,951 - 1.
Right now asbestos reform and asbestos related litigation is on fire.
Wait, I thought the whole point of asbestos was for it not to be on fire.
You must be thinking of Emacs.
How do companies become so dumb?
By being accountable to their shareholders for exponential increases in profits year after year.
This is why I choose free software because it's in the spirit of cooperation rather than subversion.
Hey now, Subversion is free software too!
Googlefight is great for stuff like this (saves you a few clicks and some manual comparison of results). I've used it in the exact same way.
Wow, small world! Mine was, too. But we went in last week for an induction, thank goodness. That was a close call.
I don't know why parent is modded as Funny
Probably the only words read by the moderators were the small ones at the beginning. "It is funny..."
I think the situation calls for Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.

...why aren't the cell phone companies listening?
They're too busy playing exciting racing games and listening to their MP3 collection. They can't hear the phone ringing.

Am I the only one who misread the headline and thought Bush was funding some sort of Space Comet?
Awesome! Now I get to mention that the kid who says that line is none other than Elijah Wood.
