I ran across this poem and I thought I'd share it (and since it's not Haiku it needs a new thread) fortune wrote: Here I sit, broken-hearted, All logged in, but work unstarted. First net.this and net.that, And a hot buttered bun for net.fat. The boss comes by, and I play the game, Then I turn back to net.flame. Is there a cure (I need your views), For someone trapped in net.news? I need your help, I say 'tween sobs, 'Cause I'll soon be listed in net.jobs. |

LOL! Nice. lost in a world of digital images and information each day drifting further into virtual thought eyes exposed and blinded by flickering flashes hopes and dreams dashed by artificial lights |

How about this classic gem? Quote: Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious website of hot chicks galore, While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour. 'Tis not possible, I muttered, give me back my cheap hardcore! "” Quoth the server, "404". |

At least 4. Less than 100 billion. |

fortune has an absurd number of quotes, you gotta remember that it's like 30 years old... so a LOT of people have contributed |
