Happy Birthday, Tetris!

I completely missed this on Saturday, unfortunately.  But Tetris had a birthday!  (I'm going to consider this art, because it's pretty to look at and can easily keep me distracted for two hours.  And who hasn't made up stories about evil kingdoms and walls that must come down?)

So, yes, Tetris was born on June 6th, 1984, which makes it 25.  Who knew I shared a birth year with Tetris?  

Fun fact #2: Andrew Lloyd Webber did a dance remix of the song under the name Doctor Spin.  And it made it to #6 on the UK charts.

Fun fact #3: Tetris has a repetitive stress syndrome named after it.  This was taken from wikipedia - "The game can also cause a repetitive stress symptom in that the brain will involuntarily picture tetris combinations even when the player is not playing the game (the Tetris effect)."

Yes, children, Tetris may damage your brain.  Now get out there and throw balls at your sister's head.

Happy Birthday, Tetris!
