Well me and the internet flirted for a while. Dated for a couple of months and are now just good friends...

LOL.. only one I got write was the most searched for news event... world cup. Guess I thought there were more perverts out there than there actually are due to most searched for sports person I put Anna K, and most searched for female I put Halle Berry (due to her recent film parts involving nudity and steamy sex scenes).

4/9 and now I have to do a search for David Beckham just to see what sport he plays.
