Little did you know, it was actually just a cleverly disguised "time-suck" that would drain the life from your soul.

Here's a map to help guide your journey: Wanted Posters: The Top 5 Most Likely to Lasso You into a Time-Suck, Quick Fix or Quick Buck: The Age-Old Dilemma of the Internet, or Bad Neighborhoods of the Wild West: A Guide to Avoiding Certain... Discomforts.
