In case you’re not familiar with this new phenomenon, Omegle, the brain child of a gormless looking American teenager, is a site that connects you instantly with a stranger from anywhere in the world. I suppose the objective is to put random people together for engaging and stimulating chat, and to be fair, I’ve had a couple of really interesting conversations with people (mainly in the US) about a variety of topics: gun crime, the media, the economy, literature.

However, and as would be expected, there have been a couple of less intelligent but hugely more amusing ones as well. A real insight into the human psyche, methinks…

Stranger: Does it burn when you pee?
Me: Yeah, you should tell your Mom to get checked out
Stranger: Touche, sir
*Stranger has disconnected from the conversation*

Stranger: Wat up man?
Me: Contemplating Nietzsche’s theory of the will. What’s up with you?
