Uh, yeah.

When I first got a mobile phone, it had some "feature" whereby every now 
and them I'd get a text message saying "a man has been stabbed in 
Hatfield" or "Granoad as just scored a goal". And I'd be like "WTF? Why 
would I care about that?"

Eventually I discovered a way to turn off these pointless messages.

Ah, another favourit.

But then, that's the power of the Internet, isn't it? I noticed a few 
people talking about newegg.com, so I went to investigate. Apparently it 
only works in America. Because that's where everybody lives, isn't it?
