How do you know you've spent to much time on the computer?

1) You try and use the kill command on your boss.
2) You attempt to download the latest firmware for your sofa to increase the "functionality" of the massage.
3) You start swearing at cops and calling them campers because they caught you in a speed trap.
4) You overclock a lemon.
5) You caught the above reference(a cookie if you can tell me where it came from).
6) You break randomly into l33t speak while writing up papers for school or work.
Add them as you think them up...

9) When the pigment of your skin is slowly turning into the hue of a Necromancer.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Well actually my left middlefinger is grown to the left and my right middlefinger to the right... I used to use the mouse with my left hand when I was younger, and now I use my right hand... But I'm at the PC for at least 12 hours every day, that might explain it... Maybe get another mouse though...
