Day 5

Is it Day 5 already?
And just like any marriage - after the first 4 days of excitement we're now reduced to playing boggle to pass the time.
Well it was fun while it lasted. So what have we learned today?
1) Facebook is just glorified Spam. You know those ridiculous emails that stupid people (mostly women) send out that go along the lines of "Pass this lucky carrot on to 50 of your closest friends and your bowels will be regular for the rest of the month."? Well that's all Facebook applications are - a way of clogging the internet. Or am I just in Network Management mode again?
2) I need more friends. Is there a desperate for friends application? Nearly everyone I know doesn't have a Facebook account. Then again nearly everyone I know doesn't NEED a Facebook account.
3) At least I can have a philosophical debate with my cousin and brother (see W.o.F.(as we call it in the trade(although I could have spelt out Wheel of Fortune in full but I wanted to save on keystrokes)) video).
4) And that's the way I think Facebook needs to go. Something more cerebral than the usual "What's your hamster shagger rating?" type of stuff. How about "What age of enlightenment philospher are you?" or "Send your friends a metaphysical poem" or "Can you crack the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture?". Then the RIGHT sort of people might sign up to this thing.
