I know it's a long shot since he is over half way there but I would like to challenge him only because I'm a little bored. If I can get to 20,000 twitter friends before Alex Albrecht I will tattoo the diggnation logo somewhere on my body.

Follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hamburgers

Why should you care?
You probably shouldn't.

What do you get out of this?
Nothing, except the enjoyment of watching someone put something on their body that they will probably regret in 5 years. Also you get to follow me on Twitter, and I can be a pretty neat guy.

So if you want to see someone do something stupid follow me on twitter.

Update Day 2: I am suffering a very slow and painful defeat... Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope. Getting 20,000 Twitter followers is harder than it sounds.

--
Update Day 4: Still going slowly... not dead yet! I'm only behind by 13,000 followers. Come on Internet, I thought you were high speed!

Update Day 7: 15,000 followers behind. Time to up the game. If I can get to 20,000 followers first not only will I get a diggnation tattoo I will also broadcast the process live on ustream.
