I take it the suggestion was not made because you and Traci have mutual friends. Once in a while, I get a suggestion where there are no mutual friends, but most suggestions are ones with mutual friends. It look like the second tier of suggestions is those who share an interest. Like if I am in a bunch of Amma groups/pages, then Facebook sends suggestions of other Amma people. In case you have not already come across the link below. :) http://videos.apnicommunity.com/Video,Item,1211661717.html "Love will swallow you, eat you up completely, until there is no `you,' only love." - Amma

I obviously messed up the second link. It should have been: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000156387146&ref=pymk Attractive woman, actually. Japanese, which I have a profound weakness for. Traci Lords seems to be married, and she's not exactly my type, but a Japanese pole dancer? Whatever weird AI runs the "Suggested Friends" thang on Facebook, at least it's doing better than it did with the plethora of Indian women it was trying to fix me up with a few days ago. Since I seem to be pissing my last posts of the week away on cybertrivia (which you have to admit is better than what some people piss them away on), here are a few other things that have caught my eye recently. First, a "separated at birth" set of photos comparing Pope Benedict to the Dark Sith Lord Emperor: Second, and continuing the "poke the prudes" theme, a little advice on homophobia from Gandalf: And finally, a little compassionate advice on how to handle anger. Not quite as "Buddhist" as portrayed, but effective. Especially if the angry person is a tad...uh...overweight and used to slinging their weight around. :-) :-)
