Well, here's the dumb/amusing story of the day - according to the Associated Press: "A security guard at the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant was so absorbed in playing a hand-held video game that he failed to see an inspector approach during a surprise inspection."

Bizarrely, Department of Environmental Protection Secretary Kathleen McGinty commented: "The issue is not the guard's use of the video game. The real issue is that his complete absorption in the game distracted him from noticing the repeated approach of our inspector. And that shows why this procedure needs to be changed and these video games disallowed."

Sooo... if the game had been less addictive, it would have been fine? Oh, and please suggest the games the guard could have been playing in the comments, of course, this is very important.
