Can You Keep a Secret?

Everyone loves a secret. Some people can keep it to themselves, while others find someone to tell right away. For me it has to do with the origin of the secret. If it's first-generation my lips are sealed. But if it's second-generation, as in, "I promised so-and-so not to tell, so swear you won't tell anyone else," naturally I then tell everyone I know, and maybe even a couple of strangers.

The Internet is full of secrets. Which is odd, since if they are so secret, how did they get on the Internet? Yet, hundreds of "secrets" are disclosed every day, to anyone looking for them. Just a fraction of the secrets out there for the taking include:
