wicked game

I always thought that card game you play by yourself was called "Patience" but it turns out it's also called "Solitaire". Discovered this the other day while watching one of those "Hitler's women"-type docos. Frau Goebbels was described by witnesses as having gone upstairs and poisoned her six children, then come back down, sat at a table and calmly started playing a game of Solitaire. Unbelievable, huh. Anyway, you learn a new thing every day...
