A lot of people complain about Facebook.  (Actually, I do too).  But you
can think of it as a sink or honeypot where all the people who would
fall for a joke like a 9000 km roller coaster.  That frees up a lot of

(A friend pointed out how much attention was paid to the article about
turtle cock, though.  What's up with that?)
