Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?
Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.
But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.
Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history #women #HistoryRemix

In de hele 20e eeuw had je gemiddeld 4,2 nachten strenge vorst per jaar in Groningen.
Sinds 2000 ligt dat gemiddelde op 1,4 nachten per jaar.
Strenge vorst wordt in Nederland iets van vroeger
