    Have you ever noticed how the Firefox spellchecker doesn't recognise the word "Firefox". You'd think they'd have at least made it get that one right.

    But I'm sure it'll recognize "Opera", "Lynx", and "Internet Explorer" (Yes, I know those are all real words. Don't spoil the joke! It's bad enough as it is)

    Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

          It probably would go into a recursive loop if it did! Firefox....ah, firefox - that's me. Firefox....ah, firefox - that's me. Firefox....ah, firefox - that's me. Firefox....ah, firefox - that's me.... Oh, never mind. :doh:

          Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
          Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

                        Yup, and they are sooooo cute! Their temperament is like a cross between a cat and a puppy.
