Nope, no holiday. The German National Holiday is on Oct 3rd (it used to be on June 17th, but they changed it after the reunification of the two Germanies).
But we have a nice long 4 day weekend nonetheless: at Thursday was a public holiday: Christi Himmelfahrt (Ascension Day), so most people took a bridge day on Friday (and schools and kindergartens were closed) and then the normal weekend.
Nice. I could get used to it :D.

Today is the 65th anniversary of D-Day. Google is celebrating 25 years of the Tetris Effect. Well, it's colorful.

I've spent more time playing Tetris than I care to admit.  It's one of my favorites.  :)

Today is also the 65th anniversary of D-Day.

I think I've played it twice.  :P PacMan was my game. LOL.

Funny, it's vice-versa with me. I'm with Fran, I still play Tetris on my cell-phone ( ::)). I tried PacMan, but it wasn't for me. And of course I loved the very first game I ever saw: tennis.

I just looked it up, and I think officially it was called "Pong". Never heard the name before, even though it was the official name in Germany, too. You live and learn...   :laugh:

I've had phases where I played so much Tetris, that when I went outside, I would see the world and think, if I tipped that tree over, the top of it would fit between that car and that house.  I'm not kidding.
