Second Life Surreality
I thought the most surreal thing I'd see on Second Life would be strange architecture or incongruous objects or people dressed up in funny skins. But this is by far the most surreal thing I've seen on Second Life:
Each of those characters has a line above their name in their little name balloon thing that says 'I'm On Welfare.'
It turns out that if you want 'free' money (the Linden Dollar), you take surveys. A number of shops are set up to do this, including the welfare line above, Money Island, and my favorite: HippiePay.
Yes, that's me taking a hit off a huge bong. It even makes gurgling noises, and you stagger around for a while afterwards.
But basically, this is the perfect set-up. There's no real money involved, so no one has to pay any taxes.

you're pizzicato five? that's hilarious.
You have to choose from their list of last names. That's the best I could come up with.
What is second life? Is it like The Sims? I've never played that either, but I think I know what that is.
