the point that i make is that the net really does foster and produce a lot of

6. Who says hackers don't use drugs? Caffeine! Caffeine! Caffeine!
5. Mom wouldn't approve. Then again, she might be one too.
4. It's very possible to LOSE yourself into either one for DAYS on end.
3. Both activities tend to make people thinner (and less healthy)

1. Fractals!
So there you go...
