Unexpected Therapy

I bought Dr. Mario for Wii yesterday.  I l-o-v-e-d that game on Nintendo -  the old school console where you blew into the games in attempt to get them to work.  It will be fun to explain that one to my (hypothetical) children.


I was kicking ass and taking viruses' names when I realized I was completely engaged in the game.  When I eventually lost a game, which took a while since I'm awesome at it, I noticed I was truly bummed.  I also found that I was taunting cartoon characters... needless to say I had a blast.  


Then it dawned on me - I wasn't killing silly red, blue, yellow viruses in my head - I was killing cancer!

Made me think of this. These guys raised $112,000 for kids charities by playing mario for days at a time and streaming it online.
