That would seem to fit the bill for typing, plus she could work on reaction times. I would think something like that would hit several areas of the brain.
Of course, zombie killin' can be somthing of an acquired taste...
Cities along your route could even pay a small fee to link to their "visitors brochure" web pages from the results page. So, when you look up a travel route, you could then click on the brochure links to see what attractions may be on the way to your final destination.

In games like Everquest or UO, have some sort of "hero calling" device.
Once a character reaches a certain level, they can choose to be available to be called upon to aid newbies and they would receive a "pager". Newbies, on the other hand start the game with a "distress signal" device that disappears after they reach a certain level (or they've abused it). This device would allow the newbie to send a general call for aid with a short message. Hero's can check their pager periodically to see if there is the need for a hero. If there is, the hero can "teleport" to where the newbie is by himself, or bring others to aid him, using the pager. Maybe the distress signal would have a limited number of charges, or be usable only a limited number of times per day, or something like that.
Heros would benefit by getting increased shots at experience or battle or whatever, plus they'd get some kind of item that would mark them as a hero that they could display. Newbies would have the possibility of a big brother (or sister) to come kick the snot out of griefers. Griefers might think twice before jumping newbies.
It'd probably be hell to code, but it might be worth it.
As far as FPSs, that's a whole different ball of wax.:)
I probably should have mentioned that it's only "loosely" based on the Scopes trial.:) However, I was referring more to the arguments made by the Darrow character and the battle between the creationists and the evolutionists as opposed to whether or not it was a factual representation of the trial.
Personally, I found it to be very thought-provoking. For one thing, it brought up some interesting questions about what is meant by the "7 days" of creationism.
Regardless of whether or not it was true to the original events, I think it's very much worth watching. As a matter of fact, coincidentally, I ordered the movie from half.com last Sunday (after not seeing it in more than 5 years).
Go out and rent the movie "Inherit The Wind" (the 1960 version). It's about the Scopes Monkey Trials of 1925. It was all about creationism vs evolution and which should be taught in public schools.
Actually, they didn't go around speaking their true names aloud (at least no more often than in the books).
What they DID do was switch Ged's true name with his "use name".
Awesome Book: True name = Ged, Use name = Sparrowhawk
Craptacular Movie: True name = Sparrowhawk, Use name = Ged
Regardless it was a major disappointment.:\

Where am I supposed to get Dr. Who now?!?!

they're not checking the X-Ray photons emanating from Uranus!
I'd rather not get that weather forecast.
I write COBOL code. Since COBOL is just like writing in English, why should I need to comment?
:)
... on second thought...
Hooray for self-documenting code!!!
Try listing blockable elements.
Right!

No, I've never linked before.
Wear sunscreen!
Maybe they should've tigthened it. Then it wouldn't have been loose.
I would think that a meteorite would've been buried in the sand instead of sitting on top of it...

Weird coincidence, huh?

Some very interesting points were brought up.
