 Why transport yourself to far off worlds

 If Facebook is any indicator (and it is)
 most people don't even bother to read the entire headline,

 Ok, who are the biggest losers in this social
 experiment: the people who didn't read and commented
 anyway as though they did, the people that did read and
 commented as though they didn't, or the people that either
 didn't read closely enough to follow the instructions or couldn't
