So, I guess the real question is, Is Boxxet based on a good search engine? If not, I can see Grandma setting one up to gather topics related to caning and getting entries like Naughty Linda likes to have her big bottom turned red with a hairbrush. Do you want to help? If that doesn't induce a heart attack I'll eat a bug.
Grandma, using a bleeding-edge service like this? Not likely. Most people never bother changing the default search engine in IE from msn.com.
Stacy: Let's buy makeup so the boys will like us.
Lisa: [sighs] Don't you people see anything wrong what Malibu Stacy
says?
Celeste: There's something wrong with what _my_ Stacy says.
Stacy: [in a low voice] My spidey sense is tingling -- anybody call
for a web-slinger?
Lisa: No, Celeste. I mean, the things she says are sexist.
Girls: [giggle] Lisa said a dirty word!
-- Ah, to be eight again, "Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy"
I found CmdrTaco's headline (or did it come from the submitter?) to be very cynical... until I remembered I work in television news. I constantly have to dumb down any and every story about technology (usually the latest Windows virus) that we run.
That reminds me of another amusing anecdote. A few weeks ago, our competition's consumer reporter did an "investigation" into war-chalking and wireless security. (Video available online.) All week long they were running promos about how people can magically break into your private life, even if your house is physically secure.
The report was basically the reporter following a group of war-chalkers around, then confronting the unsuspecting victims.
Office manager Laura really hadn't thought how public her private wireless network might be.
"It says we're connected," noted Bill.
"Oh my! So, you're online with my computer system? They've broken in, Bob. They've broken into our computers from down the street," said Laura.

And he'd give it all up for a kiss from a girl :(...
Actually, this article from a few weeks ago mentions that Jennings is married. His wife actually helped him bone up on his trivia.
