The Curious World of the Internet

Today I just realized that I am becoming something that I never wanted to become . . . . addicted to on-line games. I know, sad huh?! I was having a conversation with a friend on Facebook, and we were talking about how nice Facebook is to keep in touch with friends, and I mentioned how recently I've made friends with people from all over the world because of [gulp] games. Yes I am ashamed. I have joined the on-line game community, and I don't know where it will end. So far I haven't given any money to this world, and I don't intend to, the only thing they are going to get from me is my time . . . which eventually leads to money. OH NO! What have I gotten myself into?! It's a vicious cycle. It's a vortex of evil continually spiraling down to the burning pits below- the earth's core of course, which is as hot as the sun's surface (according to Wikipedia, the source of all truth and knowledge). See! Look! The sun is in the earth's core.*
This fact causes me to wonder, how far into the earth's crust have we dug? Have we dug far enough to end up in China, or Antarctica? Antarctica would be cool! I wouldn't mind meeting the penguins, it's the leopard seals I'm afraid of . . . they're vicious.
The world is full of curiosities--penguins, the sun at the center of the earth**-- all of which can be explored from the safety of our homes, on the internet. Thank goodness we have the world at the reach of our fingertips (and wire connection to the wall). My brain hurts, I think I will escape in the depths of the world wide web, and play a game.

** I know that the sun is not inside the earth. That was just for dramatic effect--hope I didn't pop your imaginary balloon.
