Scientists studied more than 100 dice dating back to more than 2,000 years ago

They discovered that dice made before 400 AD had major differences in shape, material, size and configuration of numbers, suggesting there was little fairness

It was only many years later what a douche he is and what a corrosive effect people like him have on our culture.
