    <p>On a serious note, I watched Monica Lewinsky's TED talk this morning on information, cyberbullying, humiliation etc.  I think this should be a must watch for anybody who uses social networking, chat sites etc.  Really quite thought provoking.  23 minutes, but I assure you, it's well worth it.</p>

    <p>Cheers , that should be interesting because her troubles began when the internet was still pretty young. I hope she never finds out some of the guys I work with call kneepads "Lewinskies".</p>

    I always thought it was "You think you're shit hot, but you're not even a cold fart warmed up"

    <blockquote class="ipsBlockquote"><span style="font-size:14px;">At a premiere in Atlanta, Dickey’s tennis mate Al Braselton sat next to Jimmy Carter, then governor of Georgia. According to Braselton, when the lights came up, he turned to Carter and said, “This ain’t no Junior League movie, is it, Governor?” Carter replied, “It’s pretty rough. But it’s good for Georgia…I hope.” </span>

    <p>This case is a bit odd , no charges have been laid yet as the kidnapper said that the victim merely didnt want to be with her parents. Considering they named her "LA" I can't say I blame her.</p>

    <p>For sure. I wouldn't have thought the human body could deal with that much red bull in a day let alone long term.</p>
