Lego unveiled the figure at the Nuremberg and the London toy fairs.

Monopoly, the best-selling board game in the world, began as a simple idea of one man during America's Great Depression. Charles B. Darrow of Germantown, Penn., had the idea for the game, which he thought would be especially appealing to so many people in America at that time who were out of work and might find enjoyment in the promise of quick wealth. Darrow designed his game in basically the form that we have it today and took it to Parker Brothers, which by then was making games successfully. They rejected the idea, saying that it had a great many "design flaws." Find out what happened next.

Egypt had a female ruler long before Hatshepsut and Cleopatra, say archaeologists who have been studying recently uncovered hieroglyphs. Neith-Hotep, one inscription says, ruled Egypt as a regent for young pharaoh Djer about 5,000 years ago. Historians generally believe that a woman named Neith-Hotep was wife (but not queen consort) to Narmer, who is generally described as the first pharaoh. Hatshepsut ruled in 1478–1458 B.C. Cleopatra ruled in 51–30 B.C.
