Not sure if this will help or hurt membership numbers:

ABC News report that Kimberly Jernigan, 33, was arrested for allegedly attempting to abduct her virtual ex-boyfriend, whom she'd originally met in the online game Second Life...New Castle County, Del., police say Jernigan hid inside her former boyfriend's home in Claymont, Del., with a Taser and planned to kidnap him so the pair could start a new life together.

Acutally, evolution occurs constantly. It's getting the right mutations in the right order that would lead to a strain of human who doesn't believe every cock-and-bull story the news media pumps out that takes millions of years. :(

Tall double mocha frappachino - $15
G15 gaming keyboard - $80

...Learning that Ruth really is a psychopath - Priceless

There are some things $L can't buy. For everything else, there's some cookie cutter BIAB with stolen items.
