Reminds me of looking > for something in my shop. Having a background in software development, I've been tempted to create a "TrapperVille" game for Facebook. I think it could be a real hit. Instead of planting silly seeds, harvesting grain and such, you could set steel traps and snares for little animals and then sell their pelts at to a virtual fur trader. With a little luck it would draw some negative attention from PETA and then go viral!

Yeah, I was gonna not say it, myself <sfsf>. It's a shame to have a door opened so wide and have to not barge through it out of decency and respect.
