Case of the online jerk, and a sampling of the witticism of Siri.

A Webscam story

Boy meets girl online. Girl lets him see her dancing naked, but her face is not shown. She then invites him to use his webcam to show her how he masturbates. He is happy to do so, and -- silly fella -- must have shown his face too. Girl later tries to blackmail boy but he -- finally retrieving his brain from his lower region -- makes a police report. Seems now that the culprit may not even be dancer girl, but might be a man!

Here's the (originally New Paper) story, from insing.com:

Siri's funny-bone side

xinmsn.com has a story on a compilation of Siri's answers to cheeky questions put to her ("Funniest things Siri says"):

Here are some of the Q&A...

* "Talk dirty to me."

Siri: The carpet needs vacuuming.

"Talk dirty to me."

Siri: Humus. Compost. Pumice. Silt. Gravel.

** "Will you marry me?"

Siri: My End User Licensing Agreement does not cover marriage.

"I love you."

Siri: I hope you don't say that to those other mobile phones.

*** What are you wearing?"

Siri: Aluminosilicate glass and stainless steel. Nice, huh?

**** "How do I look?"

Siri: How do you look? With your eyes...

***** How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Siri: A woodchuck would chuck as much as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
