Well if this doesn’t take the cake I don’t know what does!

In the latest health scare regarding the internet, scientists at Oxford University have warned that children who spend too much time on social networks online could suffer from personality and brain disorders.

Susan Greenfield, a neurologist at Oxford University has claimed that social network sites such as Facebook, MySpace and Twitter can physically “rewire” children’s brains to change their personality.

Ms Greenfield said that too much time spent online would cause children to become more selfish and would severely reduce their attention spans.

In an interview with the Daily Mail, Ms Greenfield said: “My fear is that these technologies are infantilising the brain into the state of small children who are attracted by buzzing noises and bright lights, who have a small attention span and who live for the moment.”

Ms Greenfield went on to suggest that the recent rise in child autism could be a direct result of children spending too much time online on popular social networks such as Bebo.

So now I need to tell my 2-1/2 year old that too much facebook is a bad thing for him. it’s a darned shame, too. he did so enjoy his facebook friends. I wonder if this woman spearheaded the campaign that said video games caused ADHD?

OK, haven’t been posting much.  There’s been a lot going on around here, mostly of a personal nature that has some pretty serious downsides if not handled corectly.  In that light, I’ve just kind of been mucking around and finalizing my own personal plans for world domination and the restoration of my credit rating.

While doing so, I stumbled on to this Evil Plan Generator. I must admit that it’s helped me along greatly in my quest for evil glory, so I thought I’d share it with you.

Evil Plan ™!

Your objective is simple: World Domination.

Your motive is a little bit more complex: To show them all

Stage One

To begin your plan, you must first incinerate a senator. This will cause the world to slaughter a sacred calf to appease the gods, paralyzed by your arrival. Who is this despoiler of all that is good and nice and true? Where did they come from? And why do they look so good in classic black?

Stage Two

Next, you must seize control of the internet. This will all be done from a underground secret headquarters of doom, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will die in a way you just don’t want to think about, as countless hordes of computer programmers hasten to do your every bidding.

Stage Three

Finally, you must unleash your great supernatural forces, bringing about something that’s really metal. Your name shall become synonymous with metal, and no man will ever again dare steal your woman. Everyone will bow before your dashing good looks, and the world will have no choice but to restore your credit rating.

So good luck to all of you with your own plans for world domination, or wahtever else it is that you’re working on.  I’ll get back to regular posting after tomorrow, assuming that all goes well that is.
