I've noticed that the new public speaking cliche is offering secondhand internet information. It used to be the old saw of starting a talk with "Webster says..." Now, my first clue to instantaneous, deep boredom is when someone says, "Did you know there's a website for ____________ ?" Yes, we did. There's a website for everything, from filthy disgusting fetishes to delicious recipes (and some crossover, I'm sure). Also, we don't need to know how many search results you got for a particular word or phrase. It really doesn't matter, and it really doesn't make me want to hear the rest of what you have to say. And yet, for 20 more minutes you talk. Will you please shut up? It's not like the rest of what you have to say is all that great, either. OK, I've had more than enough. I'm gonna start doodling or playing with my Palm. Alright, you've been warned. I'm tuning out...now.
