    Like I said zombies.... They've simply become slaves to technology. The fact is, technology should be serving US, not us serving IT.

    The EMP device would be a total hoot, though!

    I had an e-mail the other day advising me I am required to testify in court and that if I don't turn up a warrant will be issued for my arrest.

    I had a good laugh (especially as the originating e-mail address was 'softballgirl69') but that could seriously worry someone a bit less worldly.

    These scammers are another bunch who want putting up against the wall. if we could get rid of all these wankers we would be well on the way to managing the global population problem.

    The only scam spam I get is phoney PayPal stuff. Usually offering a link that I can 'verify' my account on. I used to copy them to PayPal, but don't bother now, as I get the distinct feeling they can't be arsed to look into anything.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Ha - that would be funny as fuck!

    Watching them all panicking, because for five minutes they can't follow some 'friend' [read as an imaginary Internet entity, who in reality cares not a jot about them, and is probably a closet rapist] on Facebook, or some fellow 'twits' on Twitter, tweeting about how many 'beef olives' they're pressed out before breakfast, or some other 'vitally important' world happening that simply cannot be missed for a nanosecond...

    Roasters!!

    Oh come on now. That should read 'undoubtably a closet rapist.'

    Must say if I was going to rape someone I'd avoid doing it in a closet if possible since that would only add to the existing difficulties.

    If I was going to rape a closet, would I be a potential criminal? Is sex with an item of furniture illegal unless the furniture has consented?
