"likes to try new things"

=v= Today’s Boston Globe has a tell-all story about Uday Hussein, which included this revelation:

Uday Hussein, eldest son of Saddam Hussein, loved nothing better than to be thought of as an eccentric, brutal despot, according to a former top aide. Even his email address, shahrayar2000@yahoo.com, spoke to Uday’s persona: Shahrayar was the bloodthirsty king in ”The Arabian Nights.”

Naturally I had to check out his profile, which describes him as male, 36, and living in Toronto. His hobbies: "likes to try new things."

I realized immediately that if this email address had a 2000 in it, that meant some other bloodthirsty-king-wannabe had already grabbed shahrayar@yahoo.com. A peek at his/her profile confirms this. I shall alert the authorities, forthwith.
