Second Life
Does anybody use it? It terrifies me. I found this flickr set which is just full of screen shots of various places in Second Life with captions as though it was all real. "My superhot hubby :)", "We were out dancing at this Goth/industrial club months ago; I'm not sure it's still there, though. :/ "

Aside: I love Daily Mail URLs. They give away the entire story.
I just find it odd to think about how wrapped up in a virtual world people can get. I know people say DiS is "weird" for how involved the boards are, but at least it doesn't have people claiming it was love at first sight when their avatars that look nothing like them first crossed eye.
SO YEAH SECOND LIFE.
