how an 11-year old obtained a hotmail account, when one must be at least 13 years old to qualify.

I'm assuming that's pretty easy - she could lie! I looked at the websites too, and I can tell you, at least, that the I-AM-CANADIAN line is from a popular beer ad campaign which is going on in Canada these days. So at least that is authentic!

Let me look around and find the link for the I-AM-CANADIAN ad, it's pretty good.

Edit: Here is a link but it is SLOW. I wasn't motivated enough to wait, especially since I've seen the ad on TV plently of times:

If I have been had a second time, I don't really mind. The price of avoiding it would be to ignore all newcomers, and I think that is too high.

Time to repeat our credo: Eschew obfuscation. May pranksters experience painful agenbite of inwit.

Subject:
today's wwftd is... agenbite of inwit
Date:
Mon, 30 Jul 2001 11:14:36 -0500 (CDT)
From:
wwftd master <mikef3@cfsmo.honeywell.com>
To:
wwftd minions <tsuwm@aol.com>




the worthless word for the day is: agenbite of inwit

from "The Ayenbite of Inwyt" a 14th century treatise
on the "again-biting" of the inner wit, the remorse
of conscience; borrowed by Joyce and made a part of
Leopold Blooms's character in _Ulysses_ (he used it
"at least eight times", according to Words@Random).
