It’s amazing what takes place on the Internet these days. You can make money on eBay, stalk pubescents through chat lines or research your family tree. It has changed people’s lives – from being able to bank online to discovering a society that is fighting to cure your disease. It’s really the meaningful ideas that make the Internet such a necessary resource.

Take, for example, theshotgunrules.com. If you’ve ever felt cheated or wronged by someone muscling in on your passenger preferences, this site could change your life. Finally, a comprehensive listing for all those questions that kept you awake at night: Can I call Shotgun inside the house? Is it legal to run out without shoes? What if I have to use the bank machine? And, most importantly, what if I own the car but am too drunk to drive?

Sure, you say, this can get me through day-to-day life, but what about the secrets of love, companionship and finding my soulmate?

Ladies, the secrets are revealed at grrl.com/bipolar.html, a.k.a. Tips for Dating Emotional Cripples. Maybe you cried yourself to sleep one night wondering what you could have done to offend Goth Boy. Maybe you shouldn’t have assumed Extreme Sports Boy was extreme in bed. And now you know the gun rack that Redneck Boy gave you last Christmas was actually a declaration of undying love.

Yep, it’s amazing. The Internet is just filled with sites to make your world a brighter, happier, more meaningful place.
