Cathedral of Learning, University of Pittsburgh:

Girl: Is she cute?
Guy: I’ve had cuter. It’s ridiculous, though. Her brother puts a comment on my Facebook wall saying, “Legally, it’s not statutory rape,” so I replied on his and said, “You can’t rape the willing.” Then she takes me off her friends, blocks me on AIM — the whole nine yards!
Girl: Jeez.
Guy: I’m not worrying about it. Hey, do you have AIM?
Girl: Um, I don’t get online.
Guy: You have a phone, though, right? Why don’t you give me your number and we can talk about it some more?

Another Pittsburgh site I want to mention

Posted by Chris Griswold under Admin, Uncategorized

Rather than, or perhaps in addition to, MySpace, you might want to check out the new social network that was created in Pittsburgh: Humble Voice. The site is set up for artists and creative types to showcase their work within a social network. Just like MySpace created its site with the the lessons learned from Friendster, Humble Voice looks like it’s taking that next leap forward. For instance, Humble Voice counters all that annoying “Check out my band” nonsense on MySpace with more appropriate band integration from the very beginning.

So check out Humble Voice, and if you register, be sure to let them know I sent you. My username’s easy: chrisgriswold.

This is the sort of thing that Pittsburgh does well but that people are surprised to find out came from here. Check it out.
