      I've never actually seen someone seem smart enough to use a computer yet totally when it came to how to spell the word 'pickle'.

      I've never actually seen someone capable of pointing out errors in spelling miss out crucial verbs in a sentence while still getting the point across

      I have to say, this was one of the best and most relevant video reply to a comment I have ever seen.
      I guess knowing every Spongebob episode inside and out helps you a bit.

    Rose & Adleman banned suzywang3000 when suzy had not violated the digg TOS. Over 1500 comments, 76 fans and then "presto - you're gone".

    They should get kicked out the country.

      Yeah, I'm pretty sure suzy was banned due to popular demand.

      She was a pretty obvious troll though, in fairness.
