Now wait a minute! More Americans admire Maggie Thatcher than J. Lo? How's that possible? I didn't think enough Americans would know who Margaret Thatcher is!

"Make 'Em Bigger While You're In There...."

Normally I don't care much for artificially augmented breasts. But in this woman's case, they seem to have been a fortuitous choice.

Egad!

This is an atrocity, pure and simple! <Via Ultimate Insult>

You Don't Know Where It's Been

We were chewing up ungodly amounts of server capacity because MT 2.51 was getting stuck - the scripts weren't exiting. At one point yesterday, there were 11 copies of mt.cgi running on poor Jade.
