Odd that this was down-voted. It's a (bad) joke. Allow me to explain:
Calculating the stationary distribution is one of the main things people do with Markov chains. That's all that PageRank is -- the stationary distribution of the Markov chain constructed from the network of links on the web.
Markov was an atheist. In 1912 he protested Leo Tolstoy's excommunication from the Russian Orthodox Church by requesting his own excommunication. The Church complied with his request. [Wikipedia.](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrey_Markov)
But the transition between states in Monopoly depends not only on dice, but also upon the configuration of Chance and Community Chest cards, which has a much larger state space. Besides this, if you roll doubles three times, you go to Jail, which increases the state space more. For more:
first came, they supposed that they should have
received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
20:11 And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman
of the house, 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and
thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and
heat of the day.
20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no
wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? 20:14 Take that
thine is, and go thy way: I will

Markovs is a natural law, proven, is it not? Well then, it will be found in any system.
Ah, just like chess has 64 possible states. Except that chess has on the order 10^47 states.

India-nigger, who's religion is superior -- nigger religion or white man's? How dare you say "better angel"? (The Aaron story on HackerNews.)

An India-nigger couldn't tell tongues from Markov.
