Memorial Day potpourri

First, an entire page dedicated to the pronunciation of Reiner Knizia’s name.
Second (speaking of loose themes), vignettes from Clue, inspired by a thread at BoardGameGeek.
Mrs. White: “Oh no! Mr. Boddy’s been shot! Look at the blood coming out of these bullet holes!”
Mr. Green: “Not so fast. I’m not sure we should discount the possibility that he was shot using that candlestick over there just yet.”
Miss Scarlet: “Oh no! A murderer is on the loose! Someone call the police!”
Col. Mustard: “Don’t be hysterical. Clearly the thing to do is split up and run frantically around this mansion looking for clues.”
Miss Peacock: “Ugh, I feel like checking for clues in the billiard room, but it’s such a long walk! I wish someone would accuse me of killing Mr. Boddy there so they’d send a team with a dolly to wheel me over.”
Prof. Plum. “…Which means… I must have done it! Funny, that. I wonder what I used to shoot him with–was it the wrench?–, and, come to think of it, where was I at the time? I hope nobody else figures it out first; that would be embarrassing. I’d much rather call everyone together and brag about how I committed the perfect crime.”
