698151 2008-08-17 21:10:00 it means "Laugh out Loud"

if its used in internet conversation its fine - but if you see or hear someone actually say "LOL" in real life it is your duty to find a stick and HIT THEM VERY HARD until they stop that nasty habit of looking like a prat in public :p 		MAC_H8ER (5897)
