Thanks to British games retailer Computer Exchange for the following readership-grabbing ditty, inspired by Lycos' revelation that Pokemon has replaced 'sex' and 'MP3' as the most frequently looked-for word on its search engine. "I think you'll guess the words, so feel free to join in whenever you're ready." Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon, MP3, Pokemon, Pokemon, Britney Spears naked, Pokemon, Pokemon. Pikachu. And now for the plug of the day. Computer Exchange is sponsoring a retro-gamers event at Cranfield University on 27 November. Find out more at the The Joy of Cex (http://www.cex.co.uk). ®
