SL is short for "Second Life." It is an online multi-user "game" (of sorts ... it's not really a game, per se, it is more whatever you want it to be).
Anyway, it's free to sign up and play, although if you get a paid in account it is easier to do things and go places in the game.
You can pretty much be whatever you want and do whatever you want in the game. There are areas that are devoted to particular types of literature, or to war games, or to science and education. Some of the universities have "islands" in the game ... and they actually conduct classes there.
People from all over the world play (so purchasing a translator can be a must if you like to wander around "the world"). Some major cities have islands ... the ones for Venice and Paris are especially nice. I recently base jumped off of the Eiffel Tower .... loads of fun.
In the game (in case any of you around here play) my name is Igraine McMillan. I have a furniture store, and a lovely home out on a private island ... complete with swimming pool and a dog ("Riley"). This last winter, I purchased a weather machine, made it show on my island and froze the pond so I could have a skating party. That's me in my human form, practicing my skating prior to the party.
