Wow. That may be the most pointless site I've ever seen in all of my
time browsing the web. It even beats out "dablocc.com".
I can't believe the stupidity of our generation; MySpace addicts who

where in a technical reality they have 1,800+ MySpace buddies.
But then again, each generation has it's faults. Just look at the 60s!
