Backgammon (3)
3rd History of Backgammon:
3. Inspire a Creation Myth: In the world of games, India has turned out the best creation myths. According to stories passed along by medieval Arab scholars, Backgammon was invented by an Indian philosopher who was trying to represent the concept of time physically, in a board game:
Backgammon Objects and What They Mean
30 pieces -- Days in a month
24 points -- Hours in a day
12 points of one half-board -- Months in a year
12 points of the other half-board -- Zodiac signs
7 spots on opposite sides of a die -- Days of the week
2 dice -- Day and night
** Coming up next will be Backgammon and its relation with Babylon.

Congratulations!
Thanks Ernesto!
Your photos are excellent.
Keep up the good work.
With the trades and acquisitions made going into the draft, plus the bulk of the team that
is carried over from last season, and the trades and draft picks made during the draft, it
sure seems like the Pats are going to be the team to beat in the AFC this season, and
perhaps in all of the NFL.
Considering the Pats were almost in the Superbowl last season with a pathetic receiving
corps and that they've added very talented players into said receiving corps this season,
barring some nasty injury(ies), they look to be the team to take it all.
I say injury(ies) because I think they could survive an injury or two to some positions, but
if they lost Brady they'd probably have a hard time recovering.
I wish I could say that the Redskins did well in the draft and/or in free agency but so many
holes still exist that I'm not sure they'll be significantly better than last season. I
suppose on face they should be if they can keep their corners healthy. With Landry (argh,
hard to type that name as a Redskin!!) back there with a healthy secondary they might be
able to cheat up more and put more pressure on opposing QBs. Might.
They still have what should be a lot of talent in the receiving positions, and Campbell
should be better, but they don't have the quality on either line (offense or defense) that I
wish they'd have, so it could be yet another year of .500 at best, or worse.
Still, the NFC East looks to be the NFC Least again this season. None of the teams there
look like they'll be that good, and none really look ready to step up and take the division.
