Did you know:

Tetris is based on an ancient Roman puzzle called Pentamino. (Centurion: I keep trying to arrange the phalanx into giant Ls. Man, I hate Pentamino!)

The game has sold more than 85 million copies, even eclipsing sales of Michael Jackson's Thriller. (eeeeeeeeeeeeh he he he)

The online Church of Tetris website attracts hundreds of visitors a week. (Drop, my brothers, drop the L-shaped brick of life into the two-square hole of sanctity.)
