Keilman shouts back and quickly continues to rattle off disastrous headlines. The banter back and forth between players continues with "Things Not to Say to Lindsay Lohan" ("your butt used to be smaller"), "Bad Pickup Lines" ("I want to date your mom") and "Ways to Get a Sticker off Your Door" ("get a new door").

Technology that was dreamed of in 1960's science fiction is reality today -- video conferencing, cell phones, space stations and more. Possibly the only thing more exciting than knowing this is knowing that the technology we dream of today will become a reality before our lives are over.
