Oh, no. Why can't the missionaries leave people alone?

Listen, regardless of your personal creed or religion, chances are two things are likely: 1) You're already part of a religious group in SL, and 2) You would prefer to avoid extra-religious proselytizing. However, this article reveals that the Catholic church might be looking at SL and other such virtual spaces as ripe areas for mission work.

People, we're all adults here. We can make our own choices. Do we really need someone coming in to a Gorean dance club asking the masses if they've accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior? No offense, Catholics, but SL is probably not the fertile ground you were led to believe it is. But hey, what do I know? I'm an Animist. Give it a shot, what have you got to lose?

Just Askin': How often do you change avatars?

Not many people think of this when they think of Tateru Nino"Their genetic structure, based on the quadruple-striated octo-helix, is so chronically unstable, that far from passing their basic shape onto their children, they will quite frequently evolve several times over lunch. But they do this with such reckless abandon that if, sitting at table, they are unable to reach a coffee spoon, they are liable without a moments consideration to mutate into something with far longer arms - but which is probably quite incapable of drinking the coffee." -- Douglas Adams, 'The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy' (Fit the Sixth)

In the time I've spent in Second Life, I've known people who have had the same avatar since the moment I met them. They're always the same. Some -- free of the dictates of laundry -- retain the same clothes, week after week, month after month. Some (like myself) though they have a definitive look, will switch avatars when entering Furry, Sci-Fi, Victorian or Gorean areas, and often take a few minutes to rummage through their clothing when they are heading to an event or to a meeting or a date.

by Tateru NinoSome I have met, switch avatars with their moods -- sometimes a dozen or more times during a conversation. How often do you change or modify your avatar? Does it disconcert or confuse you when others do?
