The idea came to Larry after he read a USA Today story on what the top ten Google travel searches were this year. He invited Kevin and Mario to list 3 or 4 of what we think the Top Ten TDP Dip searches were this year. Here we go: (LP) Which are better; wooden or plastic Diplomacy pieces? Tell me Plastic, obviously. After a third of a century how could David Hood be wrong? (LP) Where the hell is the Halditcohkka peak anyway? Beats me The Halditcohkka peak of the Halti mountain, at only 4,366 feet, is outside of Norway's top 200 highest points, but it could become the highest point in Finland and the furthest western piece of Finland on the Diplomacy board. (LP) How many Diplomacy events did Toby Harris say he was going to this year and then not attend? He told me My calculator only has spaces for nine digits. (LP) What did Larry Peery promise to do in the Dip hobby this year and not do? I'm not a mind reader Send Conrad Woodring a copy of Allan B. Calhamer's National Pastime and Nate Cockerill has wooden Austrian Army piece. No excuse unless dementia, Alzheimer's or sheer Peery laziness count. (KB) Where did Niccolo Macchiavelli live and work? I know that If you thought "Milan", you have been blinded by Norm deGuerre. It's Firenze or Florence. (KB) What is the correct spelling of a color between white and black; having a neutral hue? Pardon me? Both "grey" (British) and "gray" (American) are accepted. "Gray" as figurative for "Southern troops in the U.S. Civil War" is first recorded 1863, in reference to their uniform color. (KB) Where precisely is Galicia? On the map, obviously A) In the northwest of Spain, above Portugal. Famous among pilgrims making the journey to Compostela. B) In Eastern Europe, split between Poland, Hungary, the Ukraine and Slovakia. Famous among Diplomacy players for the friction it generates between Austria and Russia. (MH) What part of Slovenia is missing on the map with the same name? I'll take a look The coast, also called Slovenian Istria. (MH) What are Austria's two most vital spaces according to Toby, the reigning World Champion? The Großglockner? A café in Vienna? Albania and Aegean Sea. (MH) What car was archduke Franz Ferdinand standing in when he was assassinated on June 28, 1914? Trivial A Gräf & Stift 28/32 PS open sports car, Austrian natürlich. Bonus: (MH) If Mario's father had followed the same logic as Manus' father had, what would have been his name? Now there's a good question Domus Huys. Manus is Latin for Hand, Huys is an old Dutch spelling for House, which translates to Domus in Latin. By sheer coincidence, both Latin words belong to the rare fourth declension and actually have a female gender! (Hush, the secret is out, the beard Manus is sprouting is a fake.) As a token of respect, I will hereafter change my initials to DH, as in Diplomatic House (but really standing for Domus Huys). Welcome to my house.
