    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.

        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:

          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)

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