    “Big brother is listening to your cell phone.”

    – I hope he isn’t recording what I’m saying! I usually charge for my services!

    • Cabaret says:

      Just a little clarification, they are not listening. They are accessing meta data, things like “who you have called, when, and approximately where you were when you called them”

      They are probably running this through a computer looking for patterns like who calls Afghanistan a lot.

      But still, not cool NSA.

  2. Tod says:

    “Too much Facebook can lead to marital cheating, breakup and divorce.”

    – I’m sure this goes both ways, but I could see Chicks doing this often. I think the jealousy aspect is probably the primary and fundamental reason why discontent would arise.

    Oh no! How did I not know of this? (sarcasm)

    “Too much Facebook can lead to marital cheating, breakup and divorce.”

    Too much Facebook can lead to a lot of things. It’s all relative and based on the person’s usage of the website.

    OMG!!! They listen to my most private conversations… Let’s imagine the transcript of my calls on June 5th, 2013.

    Outgoing calls made by Buster Brownstone

    NSA log 06/05/2013 17:45… “Hi Honey, I’m heading to my old house to mow. I’ll be home around 7:30.”

    NSA log 06/05/2013 18:45… “Hi Honey, I just noticed you tried to call. I was out mowing; I’m almost done. Oh, you’re hungry? Sure, spring rolls from P.F Chang’s sound fine. Order me beef with broccoli. I can swing by on my way home and pick it up around 7:30.”

    NSA log 06/05/2013 19:15… “Hi Honey, I’m heading home. Did you call in our order to P.F.
    Chang’s? I’ll be there in another 20 minutes.”

    NSA log 06/05/2013 19:35… “Hi Honey, I’m just pulling into P.F. Chang’s. Oh, they told you it would be ready about 7:40? Ok, it’s 7:37 so it should be ready in a minute or two. Wow! I found a parking spot right in front! I’ll be home with the food in 5 minutes.”

  6. Studebaker says:

    Study: smokers cost employers $5,800 per smoker per year.

    I’ve heard this type of claim in the past. However, I have my doubts that it is really accurate.

  7. August says:

    SCIENCE!

    “Individuals who use Facebook excessively are far more likely to experience Facebook–related conflict with their romantic partners”

    “Also, our study found that excessive Facebook users are more likely to connect or reconnect with other Facebook users, including previous partners, which may lead to emotional and physical cheating.”

    “These findings held only for couples who had been in relationships of three years or less”

  8. Buster says:

    Too much Facebook can lead to marital cheating, breakup and divorce.

    I suspect that Facebook is more of a symptom that a cause of marital cheating, breakup and divorce. If you’re unhappy or looking for opportunities to cheap, Facebook is probably a way to find others to cheat with. I known people who had marriages break up over Facebook. But I don’t think you could blame Facebook. That was just the catalyst (or tool) that allowed the unhappy partner to explore other options.
