The little round yellow guy that all the world played with in videogameland, that is.. (Link Courtesy USA Today) (http://www.usatoday.com/tech/products/games/2005-06-15-pac-man-birthday_x.htm)

Did you know that in his native Nipponese homeland, he is known as "PUCKMAN?? And in OTHER Asian fiefdoms OUTSIDE of Japan he is known as "HANGLY MAN"??

Well, NOW you KNOW!!!! :D

Wonder if any local video game arcade emporiums (Yes they STILL exist, DESPITE "PlayStation & such..) are gonna release a special SILVER ANNIVERSARY edition of the game this year? :hmm:
