Paul Messmer writes: It’s true. I use MSN, but just Hotmail. I was silly and chose it, because AOL had a bad rep among certain friends of mine and I figured it’d be an email address that would stay around forever, unlike my old netcom email address that Earthlink decided I couldn’t keep even if I kept paying them.

As a side “benefit,” I get taken to the MSN homepage everytime I log out of hotmail of course. A quick scan of it every once in a while keeps me in touch with the Jerry Springer/Oprah banal side of life, you know. How can you not love that?

As my eyes flitted down the page today, I came across the the most brilliant idea i’d ever seen: Suggested Searches! My God, what an epiphany. Like a bolt of lightning from the blue, I suddenly shared the vision for what I should do when my vapid existence offers nothing more of interest, and I have exhausted other ways to squander my time surfing.

Nothing could be better than to search for things that _other people_ were interested in yet don’t mean diddly squat to me. And not even things with any edifying value whatsoever, mind you. I’m totally stoked, for this is _true genius_. Watch out Google!

Well, gotta run. Need see what kind of hits I get for “gastric bypass.” Hubba hubba where do I want to go today?
