They’d probably go into spazzoidic seizures… Similar to what I’ve seen caffeine addicts go through when their quadruple shot expresso is switched with a decaf chai tea a smidgen of soy.

  1. That’s the same statement it gave me.

    I don’t think I have a problem, I just have a lot of free time because of my job.

  2. I want to hear back from someone with an 80+.

    I love it how they offer a “Virtual Clinic” if you are experiencing too many problems with internet usage. :p

  4. You know how they treat internet addicts in China? They use mild shock treatment.
