A writer died and was given the option of going to heaven or hell. She decided to check out each place first.
As the writer descended into the fiery pits, she saw row upon row of writers chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they were repeatedly whipped with thorny lashes.

A few moments later, as she ascended into heaven, she saw rows of writers, chained to their desks in a steaming sweatshop. As they worked, they, too, were whipped with thorny lashes.
"Wait a minute," said the writer. "This is just as bad as hell!"
"Oh no, it's not," replied her guide.
"Come on!" she protested. "What's the difference?"

Just like hydro, which costs more at certain times of day, not cost more by how much you use over course of month.

I'd like to see him jump on the original as hard as he did on the knock-offs.

"They should be breaking news on Twitter. They should be retweeting others."
How do I see their twits?
Do I need to follow them? If yes, then wouldn't a message board be better? Post to reddit? How many do I need to follow?
What makes twitter better?
