Figuring out the Monopoly GO square

 

I am a huge fan of Monopoly and have spent hours playing it with my friends. But the one thing I never actually questioned is whether the ‘GO’ square was actually a real place.

Ordnance Survey – a mapping firm – figured out the exact location of the real ‘GO’ square using a digital mapping device. As it turns out, the location is right next to the famous Albeit landmark in London, between Old Kent Road and Mayfair (as on the board).

While this is interesting, I can’t help wondering whether this firm really had nothing better to do than figure this out.

Nike self lacing shoes

 

Have you had days when you’re just too lazy to even tie your shoelace? I sure have, but the news I heard today made my lazy heart rejoice (without moving my body – remember I’m lazy).

Nike is seeking a patent for a shoe that laces itself. I wonder how that would work. Do you put your foot it and it magically works it stuff like in the movies?

It is interesting to note that a while ago, someone had come out with a self lacing shoe but it was not pretty and didn’t sell. I mean who wants to walk around in ugly sneakers even if it is self lacing?
