Inmates Escape As Guard Plays Plants Vs. Zombies

Posted by samzenpus on from the prioritizing-priorities dept.

dotarray writes "Everybody knows that there's a certain risk one takes when playing addictive, engrossing games can be trouble when you're meant to be doing something else. The prevalence of awesome games on the iPhone hasn't helped that risk. A Plants Vs. Zombies loving police officer has learned this the hard way after an escape."

      Last time I was in one, I waited 5 minuets while the metal detector operator replied to a text message.

      With an estimated average duration for a minuet by composers such as Bach and Beethoven to be about 2 minutes, 5 minuets would last about 10 minutes.

      That's nothing. I once had to wait an oratorio and two cantatas on hold with DLink.
