I read this news earlier today. It's awesome! But basically, doesn't it does say that if you have a traumatic memory, if you are completely preoccupied with some other mental task, you won't (while preoccupied with said task) be distressed by your trauma?

So, basically, keep yourself busy...? Or am I missing something?

Or you could just do somthing that verifies your testicles.

I wouldn't call tetris any where neer perfect. It's just simplistic. Solitare is more complicated and better designed. Your stacking building blocks, I got over that before I was out of diapers.

Tetris relieves stress? Has anoyne ever gotten to level 19? That shit IS stress.


And just because we have penis' does not mean we can't enjoy simplistic puzzle games with multi-colored blocks or jewels, or what have you.

Just means we shouldn't be proud of it.
