The US ad website Craigslist has its roots in 1995 when Craig Newmark created an email distribution list for his friends that featured local events in the San Francisco Bay Area.

As of now, Craigslist operates in 70 countries and more than 700 cities. Wow. The first non-English languages that Craigslist supported were Spanish, French, Italian, German and Portuguese — this happened in 2008.

I worked in an office that kept a typewriter around for when we needed to make corrections to signed forms and other documents. A young attorney asked me if I could show him how to turn it on, so I did. He sat down and then just looked at it—he couldn’t figure out how to put the paper in—and yet he somehow thought he was going to white-out some text to be replaced with other text? I took pity on him and did it for him in just a couple of minutes. Sometimes being old really pays off.

Now, let’s talk numbers because they’re jaw-droppingly huge. Craigslist has over 20 billion (that’s right, that’s a ‘b’, not an ‘m’) page views each month (this one’s an ‘m’, though), and it had more than 49.4 million unique monthly visitors in the US alone.

Craigslist also has 80 million new classified ads each month. The numbers are so stunningly big that it makes perfect sense why there are so many ads that have us laughing out loud.

Not all who get charged are guilty, and in a lot of cases a stupid childhood dare (IE: streaking across the football field in high school) can land them in this category for life. But, at least he isn't violating the conditions, and is requesting an adult in order to obtain cookies that he cannot get in any other fashion. And let's be honest, they are fairly addictive and good cookies! Other criminals do their time and are done being punished, he is punished for life (and in a lot of cases rightfully so, but still) he did his time and it being careful. Sure, he made a big mistake, we all do but some don't go to jail over it. Is it wrong for him to want cookies? (Note: I am not defending the crime by any means, just that he is being continually judge for life, even after his payment to society is completed)

I feel like I should show up at his house with 5 singles of each cookie, drop them off at the door and then call the cops to report this perv!

But what happens when this original person wants to find a job after graduation, while not actually knowing anything? Won't it be very obvious that they never attended uni? And the person doing this, will have a degree, but never be able to prove it/use it. That's a shame too.
