PSA: Drink that worm!
Beware the talking worm on AIM! Heard this on NPR this morning:

Apparently the worm can pretend to be someone on your buddy list and talk back to you, trying to get you to click the link.
I feel somewhat secure in that the people I sometimes chat with would never use "LOL." And if they would, they would get smacked upside the head. Hmmm. Maybe we need a safety codeword/phrase anyway. Like..."The sasquatches are running." Or "Take the time to shave your butt." Or "Fear Karen's tongue." Although the worm might naturally know that.
