I have an online friend who lives in Pennsylvania.
I don't get to talk to her very often these days, so might not be able to get hold of her to ask if she's okay with me putting her name to this before the qotw is out. So I'll call her Margaret.

This is a transcript from an MSN conversation between Margaret and our mutual online friends Gustavo and Pierre (not their real names either). It took place on the 11th of September, 2001, just after midnight on UK time.


Margaret: I GO TO SCHOOL WITH PEOPLE FROM NEW YORK
Margaret: IT CAN'T GET ANY WORSE
Margaret: NYC people are the meanest, most ignorant people on Earth.
Margaret: If New York exploded, I would not care.
Gustavo: Ah...
Gustavo: That's worse then my local school, then...
Margaret: Nor would any of my fellow locals.
Pierre: Sort of like, meteorites would be an improvement, yeah?
Margaret: Indeed.
Gustavo: Thing is, if a metor hit NYC, then the rest of the earth would go with it.
Pierre: I'll see what I can do...
Margaret: yeah
Pierre: depends on the size of the meteorite
Margaret: unfortunately I'm within an hour radius
Gustavo: Maybe if the Meteor was just the right size...
Pierre: well, you'd probably hear a bang...
Gustavo says: BOOM!
Pierre: about the size of a car
Gustavo: Yeah.

And we all know what happened next. Don't piss Margaret off!
