Someone took their time to write that. I'm not suprised that something like that exists, per se, but when I start thinking about how it got there, I must say I can't believe that someone took the time to write that.

Actually, it took over a year and involved hundreds of changes, by dozens of people: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goomba&action=history

The original version -- http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Goomba&oldid=3597511 -- is far less impressive.

It's bad enough that thinking about the tetris pieces keeps me up at night. Maybe I should switch games, as I only play on the original NES, and only have Mario, Tetris, and Arkanoid in my gaming rotation.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
