1. Random: The latest buzzword used amongst mindless teenagers as a way of showing just so utterly irreverent their predictable sense of humour is. Particularly dominant among English teens and University students, the word "random" or the act of being "random" is a desperate plea for others to recognise how totally against the grain of the norm you are and that you're really crazy and out there. Trouble is, being "random" is predictable, boring, moronic and extremely sad indeed.

What A Great Pen Pal
Harold Hackett has a pretty cool hobby.
He writes messages, encases them in bottles, throws then into the ocean and waits for a response.
He is one old school SOB.
Since May of 1996, he has sent 4,800 messages via the Atlantic and received over 3,000 messages back from all over the world.
He has received letters back from Africa, Russia, Holland, the UK, France, Scotland, Ireland, parts of New England, Florida, Norway and even the Bahamas.
Some messages are lost for 13 years before he hears a response...
The best part is that even after he gets a response back, he keeps in touch.
