Second Life Marriage Ends the Way Many Real Ones Do
Amy Taylor and David Pollard (that's them at left) formerly married for about three years — including in a lavish online ceremony in Second Life — are separated and seeking a divorce, because Amy caught David's avatar banging another avatar and it wasn't hers.
The UK's Metro is reporting, with barely concealed schadenfreude, the end of their marriage and the details are so awesome I'm suspicious this whole thing is made up. But Amy hired a freaking detective to track her husband's activities, after she caught him nailing a virtual hooker — these exist? — in the game last February. Now, David's avatar — "Dave Barmy" — has been caught giving some American homewrecker named "Modesty McDonnell" the hot beef injection, and it's all over.

Virtual World, Real Money
From The Desk Of: Billy BanksDate:
September 27, 2008
Dear Friend:
Does the thought of being able to earn REAL money playing a VIRTUAL game excite you?
In fact, up until now, the majority of people who were able to make BIG money playing games were athletes who possess rare physical skills that all of us “average” people just don’t have.
But now that is all about to change.
You see, in a mere matter of minutes, I’m going to reveal how anyone – old or young, fat or skinny, smart or dumb – can make money playing the virtual game “Second Life.”
Just how much could you earn?
Well, five figures a month and seven figures a year are definitely not out of the question! Just recently, an article in FORTUNE Magazine said the number of professionals earning full-time incomes by manipulating virtual economies such as that in “Second Life” is skyrocketing!
And now you can discover the secrets you need to know to cash in on this rapidly-growing trend … right from the comfort of your own home!

Second Life Linked in Story to Attempted Kidnapping
This is one that's, hopefully, irrelevant, but good to be aware of in case people like Representative Mark Kirk are paying attention: Kimberly Jernigan, 33, of Durham, N.C., was arrested by police for attempting to kidnap an ex-boyfriend, 52, that police say she met in Second Life. The two reportedly interacted for some time in the virtual world, met in real life several months ago, and broke up, which prompted Jernigan to drive to Delaware and stalk her ex before attempting to kidnap him. In other words, Second Life sounds like it didn't play much of a role in the incident, but it is featured in the headline of the story and referenced several times throughout, along with the fact that Jernigan's avatar was a lion and her boyfriend used a female avatar. Hopefully it stays a non-story instead of rallying point for worried politicians.
