You know spending any amount of time with ‘Internet People’ will soon erode your perspective on the human race until you think everyone is a complete whack job.  I’m not saying everyone ISN’T a whack job, but the internet brings it out in people in the most unexpected ways.

However, I’ve come to the conclusion that Internet People aren’t any crazier than regular people.  For example:

This from:  http://www.msnbc.com/comics/nw.asp

Tyler Ing, 20, told the London (Ontario) Free Press in October that his parents “looked at me real weird for a few minutes” but that now “they’re proud. My mom shows the (Guinness Book of World Records) to all her friends.” The entry that she shows is her son’s honor, recently achieved, for having the world’s longest nipple hair, certified at 8.89 cm (3.5 inches).

Okay.  See?  Don’t you feel better?  Yep, even if you are one of the nutsos that gets so wrapped up in imaginary life that you lose all perspective, neglect your family, your cat, your laundry and eventually end up living alone in a hole in the ground mainlining your broadband connection and trolling for drama queen arguments to start … yes.. there are people who have sadder lives than you. 

Actually, I’m sure we all hold some bizarre record for some strange thing that no one before thought to measure.  But like most half-way-sane people.. if we see a big ol’ long, nipple hair, we just yank it out and hope nobody saw us.
