Lebanon, TN is the new proposed home for a bible-themed amusement park. Hmmm, I wonder where they got that idea?

I play World of Warcraft. I’m part of a guild of fellow players and to be completely honest, I don’t contribute much.

That’s not quite true. I don’t contribute anything. But I do amuse myself:

[Guild] [Eelros]: where is gruuls people?
[Guild] [Schwim]: gruuls has people?
[Guild] [Schwim]: I thought they outlawed that years ago.
[Guild] [Eelros]: ? man thats not funny
[Guild] [Schwim]: in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I thought it was really funny.
[Eelros] whispers: do you have a problem with me?
To [Eelros]: not unless you steal my twinkies.
[Eelros] whispers: cause we can fix it right now
To [Eelros]: you’re going to give me twinkies?
[Eelros] whispers: no im gonna duel you and kick your ass
To [Eelros]: that would fix something?
[Eelros] whispers: yes that will show you that you are no one in the game like to think you are smart
To [Eelros]: actually, it would prove that a 70 can kill a 51, a fact which I already know. Did you not know that?
[Eelros]: whispers: yes i know 50 are crap and useless
To [Eelros]: so you skipped 50?
[Eelros] whispers: when you are 70 talk to me i gladly rap you
To [Eelros]: you’ll rap me? Like we’re going to beatbox?
[Guild] [Eelros]: man im gonna kick this idiot
Schwim has been kicked out of the guild by Eelros
[Whiteloki] invites you to join the Ghosts.
Schwim has joined the guild.
[Guild] [Eelros]: you bring him im not bringing any useless idiot
[Guild] [Schwim]: hehe, holy crap that was scary. I was all by myself there for a while…

What did I learn here? Well, I mean besides the fact that there are people out there that blur the line between reality and fantasy and actually think they can settle something in a virtual world, much like an internet gangster or hitman? Well, actually, that’s all I got from this.

But that’s enough, isn’t it?

You know Reiser, that guy that didn’t kill his wife and later led the authorities to her body?  They gave him 15 to life.

For those of you that may feel that the justice system is overly harsh, keep in mind that he got a better sentence than his wife.

For those of you using his file system, you’d better hope that he took better care creating it than he did covering up murder.

I’d make a backup, just in case.
