I've played a similar, equally frustrating game called "A career in research", but luckily this one did not last several years. Here's regular tetris, play a round and feel better.
That last Bollywood clip was excellent, makes you want to see the whole movie (subtitled, of course).

The Python song should be elected our new national anthem. "The country where I quite want to be" sums it all up nicely. Possibly change "quite" to "almost".
I'm running Ubuntu Studio, although I haven't done much music stuff with it. The low-latency kernel works ok with my M-Audio 2496 Delta, and it has a working Ardour installation out of the box. I briefly tried mastering with JAMin but couldn't figure it out and had to use Nuendo on a last-century Windows box. I promise to give JAMin another chance someday.

I guess you have to be a vision scientist in order to appreciate the leaning tower illusion. It is by far most novel of the ten. The prizes are pretty neat, too.
Uh, Liechtenstein of course. A cursory glance at the maps reveals that the supposedly accidental attack must have come from the south, as the soldiers surely would have noticed crossing the Rhine (and highway E43).
