There is no contest here. Everyone knows the thimble is the lamest piece.

lol I did not know they had that added. I'm a classic monopoly guy. I always have gone between the thimble and iron, I just added the others for outliers... if anyone votes the racecar they have obviously never played competitively (you will have to kill me to get the racecar if you play with me)

I have no responsibility for that comment.

Consider it done.

Isn't that kind of a requirement, like how objects always have to be hotter than absolute zero...?
That's okay, you have no responsibility for anything else, either.

But in a major difference that no matter can exist at absolute zero. So therefore Potter doesn't exist.
I prefer to delegate my responsibilities on those below me. =D

Okay, I can't resist any more:
the credit card.
Highlight: "While it's certainly true that Monopoly doesn't teach many economic principals[sic], it was a great tool for teaching kids about cash and arithmetic. When my daughter was in 1st grade, we often pulled out Monopoly to "model" arithmetic problems. That sure won't work with a debit card!
"Oh, and Monopoly is also a great tool for teaching about Markov processes. Working out the transition matrix and corresponding asymptotic distribution is a great exercise for people who are just starting to learn about discrete stochasic processes."

yeah

sadly I heard about that on talk radio the other day. (yes I listen to talk radio bite me.) Using money was the coolest part! I think it's just adding to the laziness of society

I still have the Pokemon Edition, so all of those pieces are pretty lame. However, I did collect some Johnny Lightning Monopoly Cars, and each car game with a gold-plated gamepiece.
Gold Dodge Viper GTS ftw.

The lamest Monopoly piece is a McDonald's Monopoly piece that isn't a winner.
