Proof that society has now irrevocably dumbed down!

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

You can still get the proper version.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

I find this more depressing than I would have imagined that I would.
Nationalise the f**king lot.

We'll be allowed to use the word "Beyonce"?! :lol:
Is there a Venn diagram where "scrabble players" and "Beyonce fans" intersect?

So what? Scrabble accepts that people have names. The only "news" here is that they're pretending that it's worth people spending money on a new edition.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

As a Scabble fan, I was upset to read this, then I realised most young 'uns would need the txt version to play it anyway...
