The latest digital prank involves the Dalai Lama.
Earlier today, Agence France Press reported that "The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has joined micro-blogging service Twitter, attracting nearly 20,000 followers in just two days. The Dalai Lama's Twitter feed -- twitter.com/ohhdl -- was launched on Saturday. OHHDL stands for the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama."
A few hours later, Religion Blog's Bruce Tamaso reported that the disappointing news: "Early reports in the blogosphere are that it was a fake. . . Twitter customer support confirms that the account was suspended because the real Office of His Holiness The Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India, notified Twitter that the account was the work of an impostor.
All that Twitters is not gold.

Shocking.... Could it be some things on the Internet.... Are not ultimate reality... Perhaps, some kind of cognitive illusion? :)
Party on. :)
