One industry that could use this is the coffin industry... Due to
religious
standards some coffins cannot contain any metal. As such the assembly is
typically done with dowels. Even if they needed 2-3 times as many wooden
nails as dowels it would be quicker and cheaper.

Is there a religious problem with Dominoes? ;-)

The name's historical ties to gambling is probably an issue. ;~)

Ah, good point. My grandmother thought playing cards was a sin.

My grandmother thought it was a sin if we *didn't* play cards.

Whist as group, Gin Rummy one-on-one. If she wasn't making pierogies,
she was playing solitaire.

My brothers and I are renting a house for a big family Christmas. I
can't wait to see their faces when I whip out Grandma's Michigan Rummy
board and a big jar of pennies.
