Over the holiday my niece was quizzing me with a trivia history card game bought at Target for $1. I was knocking out those answers left and right, while she was getting a good laugh, until I answered this question wrong. Q. What was the last conflict during the French and Indian War? No idea, but guessed to had to be somewhere in the Northeast or Canada. Their answer was Wounded Knee! What, I told her that's wrong! I think they wanted to say, What was the last engagement between the United States and the Indians. I tell her to write the company and she e-mails me... I don't know if it would be worth complaining, although it would be nice for them to know that they are misleading people all over America! I just looked on the box and it says 'Made in China' - maybe that would explain it! Haha.

Nice to see you again, Chas!
Please let us know if you get an answer. I realize it's doubtful, but that is a glaring error that needs to be fixed in subsequent editions.
(Don't eat the box the game came in. It's probably full of lead!)

And then there's this............
China Toys With the recent news of the high lead-content of toys made in China, the Chinese government is moving swiftly to respond to the fears of American consumers. Case in point, the extensive warning label on a toy I recently purchased. It read as follows: Happy Fun Ball -only $14.95- Warning: Pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to Happy Fun Ball. Caution: Happy Fun Ball may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds. Happy Fun Ball Contains a liquid core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled, or looked at. Do not use Happy Fun Ball on concrete. Discontinue use of Happy Fun Ball if any of the following occurs: Itching Vertigo Dizziness Tingling in extremities Loss of balance or coordination Slurred speech Temporary Blindness Profuse sweating Heart Palpitations
If Happy Fun Ball begins to smoke, get away immediately. Seek shelter and cover head. Happy Fun Ball may stick to certain types of skin. When not in use, Happy Fun Ball should be returned to its special container and kept under refrigeration...
Failure to do so relieves the makers of Happy Fun Ball, Wacky Products Incorporated, and its parent company Global Chemical Unlimited, of any and all liability. Ingredients of Happy Fun Ball include an unknown glowing substance which fell to Earth, presumably from outer space. Happy Fun Ball has been shipped to our troops in Saudi Arabia and is also being dropped by our warplanes on Iraq. Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. Happy Fun Ball comes with a lifetime guarantee. Happy Fun Ball
ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES!
