Today's Wisdom ...

Real Life is nothing like computer games.
For example, everyone knows Tetris teaches you how to organise cars in the limited space of a parking lot efficiently, but today I found out that once you complete a row of cars, they don't actually disappear! So no matter how good you're doing at Car Park Tetris, you lose more and more space over time.
There's also a parallel between original and Car Park Tetris though, I discovered: The better you are at it, the more you postpone losing. You can't actually win tough.
