gaming for peace

... Pong. This was the first commercially available video game; it featured two bats, a square ball and lots of irritating noises, it came along in 1972 and since then the western world has, for the most part, been at peace. We can therefore conclude that Pong and other games of its ilk ended the cold war because, for the first time in history, leaders had something better to do than rush about threatening to bash one another’s heads in.

arrest

limerick definition -- limeition? -- by Kalleh.

Her heartbeat has stopped — an arrest!
Breathe for her! Pound on her chest!
Her eyes begin fluttering,
And she begins muttering,
"Stop it! You're fondling my breast!"
