Hawaii
I'm scared. Kit is researching the laws governing marriage in Hawaii, and I'm not exactly sure why.
"Hey; you can get married at 15 in Hawaii!"

Anonymity For Beginners
Somebody obviously didn't understand the idea of the BBC's story on annoying work colleagues when they posted the following comment: see how they signed it off -
