A buddy of mine in another department was able to get some work done for me.
Afterwards a manager got all 'grumpy' with him - upset over violated turf.
I told my buddy the next time the manager bends his ear to go ahead and give me a call.
We'll beat the managers arse in the parking lot.

I like Tetris.
Robert Maxwell bought it from someone who was not in a position to sell it.

Was he in a missionary position?

He was in a 'pretending to Cap'n Bob that he owned Tetris' position.

The Tetris Saga[^]
I watched a documentary about it a few years ago.
I blame the Hungarians.

It's not possible!
If Tetris were 30 then I would be old and I'm not old, therefore Tetris is not 30!

Quote: th@t, mozt halPgull v,zmdi.z xd vmx ,.x mxc xcm,x ncm ,cmnls kdvc I type like that whenever I decide (yet again) that it's time I learned to touch-type.
I have been typing while looking at the keyboard occasionally for over 30 years... oops I gave it away! Yes, I invented Tetris - although I didn't call it that back then.

People with a normal number of fingers would struggle to have fingers in ears and type of course.

Since when has a normal number of fingers been defined as 2? Stick your index fingers in your ears, lean forward and 2 finger with your index fingers. If you count thumbs as fingers, stick them in your ears instead and 2 finger more naturally using your index fingers.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It kills me that someone could retire off the money generated by one stupidly simple game.
I suppose it takes a special kind of brilliance to keep it simple.

Well according to Wiki, it was released by some Russian Academy of Science 30 years ago, BUT wasn't popular until around the time of release on the GameBoy in 1989

Wiki says Tetris is 30.
Lots of other places that talk about the history of Tetris say it is 29.

Though I'm a natural Bernicia fan myself, I do like glory-seeking so I'm following mercia[^] given the recent success. I think Mercia can win out in the end. Wessex? Wessex is no where and won't beat Mercia on penalties their Garnet Cloisonne work.
