Not sure if this is quite the right place to point it out, but I couldn't see a better option:
"Prepare for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition with the latest release for D&D Miniatures! Dungeons of Dread is the first expansion to completely tie in to the new system, with new rules. And all of the miniatures in the set take their queue from the 4th Edition Monster Manual."
It's "take their cue". Cue is a hint or prompt. Queue is what left-pondians insist on referring to as a line ;)
Sorry, I probably need to get out more, but these things bug me...
or us computer people - Data structures class: "everyone repeat after me: a stack is last in first out a queue is first in last out"
I think you mean a queue is a FIFO, not a FILO ;)
But yeah, while coders use "queue", as far as I can make out, standard American is pretty much always "a line" (for the noun) or "wait in line" (for the verb), in respect of people waiting. English has "queue" for people in much more common usage.
