TWITTER PATED

   Security experts were warning everyone to beware of a virus that is attacking them through the social networking site Twitter. Experts warn that the virus, when activated, will automatically post on your Twitter account banal rambling of every moment of every day. The problem, experts say, is that most people never know they are affected since they can't tell the difference between the virus postings and their own banal rambling of every moment of every day.

   Says a twitter expert “Saw a pretty butterfly in my garden today. LOL Reminded me of a hamburger I once had. OMG Robert Pattinson is so hawt xoxo”

PUTTING OUT THE FINE WITH GASOLINE

   Author Stephenie Meyer has been accused of plagiarizing another author's work in one of her best selling novels in the Twilight series.

   Jordan Scott filed a lawsuit against Meyer on Wednesday claiming Meyer stole ideas from her book Sweaty, Shimmery, Hot Vampire Dude Loves Pale, Breathy Chick and used them in her fourth book of the Twilight vampire series, Breaking Dawn.

   When reached for comment, Meyer's publisher said "Neither Stephenie Meyer nor her representatives had any knowledge of this writer or her supposed book prior to this claim." although it was later discovered this comment was stolen from a comment from Bram Stokers publisher.
