The following is a true story:

I came home today to find the following message on my answering machine:

Hi Joe, (not my name, obviously) it's Cindy (I don't know anyone named Cindy), I just wanted to say thank you for the dog, now I can make up that year of college. Bye!

Well, it was obviously the wrong number, but certain things puzzled me. First of all, don't think about the fact that getting a dog will enable an individual to make up a year of college for more than 3 minutes or blood will just come spurting right out of your nose. The very idea of this message is beyond human comprehension. Now you may be thinking to yourself: "How can one person be such a forum whore?" Well set that aside, because the question that I WANT you to ask is: "What is the relevance of this to anything in SL?" There isn't any.

I got a phone message last week. Well, I didnt want to answer the phone, so I waited for the message. It went something like this...

"Hey Ron, its Mom. Frank and I got a wild hair and decided to go to the coast this weekend. You are going to need too..."

This is when I decide that her leaving a message on the wrong number might not be a good thing for her or Ron. So, I pick up and let her know that she dialed wrong and she might want to try again. She then begins to tell me about her weekend plans!?!

I interrupt her and tell her that I am not interested in her plans for the weekend and maybe she should retry her son. Then, she actually sounded like she got mad at me that I didnt care about her plans. Weird stuff.

Dar,

I think Cindy was referring to a D&D Dog prototype that has not been released yet. It does your homework and takes all your tests for you. One got away from us and I guess Joe got a hold of it! :)
