What if the Greek philosophers had had Facebook?

LOL! Poor Socrates.

He needs to watch more Doctor Who.

OMG, I don't know when I laughed so hard. That is classic.

Hilarious!

(But you know, in those dialogue thingies, usually the "replies" are more like: "I do." "I do not." "You are certainly wrong, Socrates." "That is of course ridiculous." "I agree." "Surely no one could disagree."

This leads me to think the conversation should be translated as something like: "Duh." "No duh." "Ass-backwards, So-crates." "SOL." "Dude." "Bitchin'." Etc.)

Also, NO body gets the drop on Socrates when it comes to matters erotic. No body. (Not even Alcibiades.) Because that's all he does...

Ah, that would be fantastic. "No way!" "Way!"

I enjoyed that!

Can't say I got every nuance, but I got the gist, and it was that Facebook is a lot like LJ.

The analysis of the Doctor Who audience and Martha's teeth was particularly good, I thought.

The bit with the teeth was particularly funny, especially if you click on the last link, and there's a page of her looking exactly the same.
