I don't have any Leper Colony tokens. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

And somewhat decided to have their own currency for it might infect others and their is no cure for leper on that time. http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pa...&pageindex=2 It is cosider the largest leprosarium in the world under US-PHIL administration Report this Post to the Staff
