Amusing story
A couple days ago, I was playing Civ3 and deep into the game (almost able to block out all the crazy things going on in my house), when my 4 year old nephew comes up to me and asks me what I was doing.
I happened to have the diplomacy screen open at the time and was negoitating a tech trade with Hammurabi of the Babyloninans. I sat him up on my knee and tried to explain to my nephew who the picture was and what I was doing.
A few minutes later, he was talking to his mother (my sister), and when she asked him what he had been doing, he said that he was watching me talk to "King Hamburger of the Bubbleheads".
I almost fell out of my seat laughing. Children are so funny sometimes. They can be SOOO precious.
Just a random story from a Civ3 Fan.

Yeah, sometimes he can be a bubblehead. I wonder if he would taste any good ground up and served on a bun.

We should introduce King Hamburger to King Bibendom (the Michelin Man) of the Rubbernecks.
BTW, where in Oklahoma?

Well...
The next time I conquer the Babylonians...
I'll keep in mind the suggestion of grounding Hammurabi up and eating him for lunch.  Couldn't taste any worse than a Big Mac.

That reminds me of one more request for PTW: the torture screens (a la SMAC) that would appear when you crush a civ. They could be interactive so you could see yourself electrocuting the enemy.

A bit of nit picking: that should be King Bibendum, IIRC
