WHAT DOES THE INTERNET KNOW FROM TRADITION?

I found this on Google:
The most famous of all of the Chanukah games* is the dreidel game. Find out the origins, meaning, and rules of the dreidel and the dreidel song, too! You can also buy some great dreidels here.

What? This advertiser wants I should buy its dreidels? Doesn't the song, um, strongly suggest that you should make your own dreidel out of clay?

* Wait wait wait! Is it possible for me to be in my 67th year . . . and now they tell me there are OTHER famous Chanukah games? I must be living in a parallel universe.

    Do you mean (a) "Geeeez, what a fantastic pun," or (b) "Geeeez, I don't get it"? If it's (a), thank you very much!! If it's (b), there was a song from the 1958 musical "South Pacific" called "Some Enchanted Evening." Call me and I'll sing it for you.
