Huh. I did a project on the history of this in early high school about 20 years ago and I don’t remember this at all! Probably just shitty research at the time haha.

apropos of nothing, the game Operation was stolen from a Victorian Era game called Jack the Ripper.
I can't find any sources on that, do you remember where you heard it?
The New York Times podcast podcast The Daily from yesterday
