The only reason I happen to know what Second Life is, is because my son happens to be addicted to it. Plays it night and day and even makes virtual money and sells it on other websites for real money.

Second Life is a virtual world with graphics that go through the roof.
You can join for free, create your own avatar, buy and sell real estate and even have naughty romps in this world.

You can visit casinos in Second Life. You can fly in Second Life. The graphics are absolutely out of this world and the members take it very seriously. This is no nintendo game, believe me.

so just go to www.secondlife.com and you'll see for yourself.

It's not for me though, I'd rather sit outside with friends and chat.
I go on the computer but I don't live on the computer like my son and others do. This is a real addicting way of life, believe me.

Now here is where this gets very interesting. I went to google and typed in Brigadoon. One of the links sent me to here and I copied and pasted this:

GUESS WHAT MY SON FRANK WAS DIAGNOSED WITH AT AGE 21????? ASPERGERS DISORDER.

He plays Second Life, 20 hours a day. When he's not gambling, that is.
Wow, I went from not ever hearing about such a thing as Aspergers Disorder, to finding out that the guy who ran Braintalks is now on Second Life.

What an interesting mixed-up world we live in!!!!
