What Ever Happened to 'Toothing'?
Jim Hanas excertps from his very funny article on the quiet disappearance of last-year's promised digital bacchanal. "Remember 'toothing'? It was a craze that was sweeping England last year as bored commuters arranged sexual encounters using Bluetooth-enabled cellphones. You probably read about it over at Wired or Reuters or the BBC. There's a decent chance you even blogged about it. Well. What happened?" Update: 04/05 00:10 GMT by T : Hanas writes with a followup: "The original source on the whole toothing thing has just admitted it was a hoax -- in response to my email and your picking up of my post."

So, let me get this straight...
2 random people just happen to fuck each other on a train whilst they have their mobiles on.
This chance mating is captured by a geek on the way to work, who discusses it with his blogger friend.
This escalates until the whole world then spent the next 6 months and countless gigabytes of porn bandwidth discussing one chance random sexual encounter and ponder the implications of it, and whether or not it will happen to them?
Boy, talk about a storm in a teacup.

I met my ex wife of 5 years asking ASL in an IRC chat.
Oooh.. good example!
Ha ha. Funny funny. Your wit astounds me.
We were together for years, moved across the globe together twice and have a child together. Yeah, it ended, but it was the longest relationship of either of our lives. What you want, a written guarantee? In modern western society, I'd call 5 years a success story. How many relationships have you had that lasted longer?
