Standard disclaimer for all people who flame before they think:

          THIS IS A JOKE!   CHILL OUT!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

We think we have figured out what Tetris is.  Tetris appears to be a very
intricate and deadly virus.  It showed up here on campus a few weeks ago
and since has proliferated to almost every hard drive in sight.  Everyone
I know has a copy of it in some form or another (it has a DA and APPL
manifestation).  Well, we also have nVIR just as bad.  That's not what
scares me.  What scares me is that everyone sees Tetris shapes in their
sleep, when they are bored, when they are talking, they doodle them on
paper, they hum the music... it is infecting PEOPLE TOO!!!

BTW, just in case you weren't listening before,

            this is a JOKE!  DON'T FLAME ME!
