My article on nude Twister was in response to an article from Yale, but I've received two messages asking what "Twister" is. Hmmm...I guess I'm getting old. I figured that *everybody* had been exposed to the game about 15 years ago. Twister is a commercial game and probably a registered name (sorry, I don't know the company. It's one of the biggies like Milton-Bradley or Parker Brothers). The game consists of a plastic sheet and a spinner. The plastic sheet has four rows of hand-sized colored dots on it. Players (2 to 4) start by standing on two of the dots. Someone then spins the spinner and announces that everyone must place a particular hand/foot on a dot of a particular color. Sometimes reaching that dot with that hand/foot is difficult due to intervening bodies or simply due to your own current position. Play continues until someone can no longer support themselves and falls. Those left "up" are the winners. I leave it to the reader to extend the rules. Pete LaMaster NJ ihnp4!houxh!pvl
