Flirting online can be an amazing experience. A 22 year old marine sniper struck up an online relationship with an 18-year-old girl. Well, sort of.
The Marine's wife found out about it, and mailed a picture of him to the girl. He is actually 46 years old and has two kids. This incensed her, obviously, and in order to push his nose in she started flirting with his 22 year old coworker, who hung out in the same chat room.
The 46 year old got jealous, and shot the coworker. Police investigating the murder sought out the girl -- and discovered that she was a fake, too. Turns out she was 45, and the pictures were of her daughter, who knew nothing about any of it.

If you two had half a brain, you'd knock it off with the lame Escape jokes.

This one time I flirted online and I lied about something in order to impress someone else.

Didn't we decide trashy SLMail posts were not a good thing?

Oh what a tangled web we weave. When first we practice to deceive.

This really really makes me want to write an updated version of one of those Shakespeare plays where people 'hide' their identity with ridiculously small masks, except online.

It turned out they were already married. To each other. (The story may be apocryphal.)
