You got Buddha'd!

 My roommates and I have a small, golden Buddha (similar to this one on the right) that we play a game with. We hide him in different places around our house and whoever finds it first got "buddha'd" and then hides it for someone else to find. I think the main reason we used Buddha was because it was small and one of us already had it. But the more I think about it, the more interesting I find it that we use a religious icon for a game. We wouldn't do that with a statue of a saint or of Christ. I think it's because Buddhism feels so distant and it's easy for us to forget about the people who practice it.
