I like facebook. I think it gives you a chance to connect with people on a nice, non-intrusive level. By that, I mean that it doesn’t replace a phone call or visit from close friends, but a nice way to stay reasonably in touch with those you might have otherwise lost contact with. Oh sure, [...]

I won’t be afraid to admit that I love snopes.com for telling me whether or not email fowards are worth being passed on or just hoaxes. I also am a total sucker for reading about legends such as bigfoot or the lochness monster. But this one this one just makes me want to stand up [...]
