Verity determines to enhance her social graph
Stob Baroness Susan Greenfield, head of the Royal Institution and occasional star of Ben Goldacre's Bad Science column, has dramatically claimed, via the offices of the Daily Mail, that social websites harm children's brains.
I think the Baroness misses a trick. Children are not the problem in my experience. My difficulty is the harm social websites seem to do to the minds of a subsection of the middle-aged population, specifically my friends.

Jacquie commented: It's just a bit of fun.
Verity commented: In what respect are you like a metal? Do you form a salt and water when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to you? Are you malleable and ductile?
Jacquie commented: It's just a bit of fun.
Verity commented: I've googled up this quiz. Q5 is 'If you carried a wepon [sic] what would it be?' Why are you answering this illiterate rubbish?
Jacquie commented: It's just a bit of fun.
