It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I know this is a silly question, but why do people *search* for www.buffistas.org? Why not just type it into the location bar?!
I do it all the time. Part of the reason is that-- I think this has to do with having the google toolbar-- if I type in an address it can't resolve it brings up the search results; without thinking, I type the address into the search box instead of the address box.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I will fix all your wrongheaded posts. And all the posts where you disagree with me. Filter? I don't need no steenkin' filter!
No, just kidding. I rarely edit tags, but if it turns up necessary I don't have any problem doing it. I do try to leave a note though, just 'cause.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All is well that ends in pizza.
there's this whole freaky phenomenon where tons of people act as if google or yahoo or whatever *is* the internet, and type in whatever they want there whether they know the URL or not.

I can't begin to tell you how many times I've had to talk people through the address to a site with a solution and have to explain to them what an address bar is.
Similar areas of clueless:
1. AOL users using AOL search.
2. people clicking "search" in Netscape/etc. rather then simply hitting Enter.
One workaround I ended up doing if the caller seemed too clueless early on? Tell them to click "start...run" and enter in the address and click "ok"
