...Your usually an anti-social so & so, but now you are fighting to get to the phone.

...Your G/friend tells you she is pregnant just to stop you talking about ARGing... ...and it doesn't work

...Your friday night boys & beers & TV night ended with people all clamouring around your PC eating junk food and using the wrappers to make notes

...You are considering upgrading your broadband to 2Meg because someone else on your lan is using Kazaa

...You spend twenty minute explaining your theory on what's going on, and your mate turns round and goes "You used Jesse twice. He couldn't be there and there at the same time"... ...and you haven't started talking to him yet

...You have bought second hand scrabble sets so you can use the tiles to solve anagrams... ...only to be told theres software that does it for you

...You've now reached the point where the Oct 1st Paint over better *not* mean anything.

...You're about to brute force hack the internet. All of it.

...You have more photo's of Jesse than your mum.

...The phrase "That stupid Matrix internet game" has you boiling over with muderous intent

...You show someone at work the tapestry jpg, and find yourself saying "They decoded it no time, how cool is that!" - and all you get is a blank look and a "Great, but what the hell does the message mean"
