And now for something completely different:
So Long & Thanks for All the Fish
So long and thanks for all the fish
So sad that it should come to this
We tried to warn you all but oh dear
You may not share our intellect
Which might explain your disrespect
For all the natural wonders that grow around you
So long, so long and thanks for all the fish
The world’s about to be destroyed
There’s no point getting all annoyed
Lie back and let the planet dissolve around you
Despite those nets of tuna fleets
We thought that most of you were sweet
Especially tiny tots and your pregnant women
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long and thanks for all the fish
If I had just one last wish
I would like a tasty fish
If we could just change one thing
We would all have learned to sing
Come one and all
Man and mammal
Side by side
In life’s great gene pool
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long, so long, so long, so long
So long, so long and thanks for all the fish

And in other news, Even Microsoft says stop using IE6
It's not often that we encourage you to stop using one of our products, but for #IE6, we'll make an exception: http://bit.ly/g0wt4m—

According to W3 Schools, XP users make up 42.9% of the browsing public, but won’t be able to upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer, IE9. You’ll need Vista or Windows7 to do that. Thankfully, other browsers continue to fill the browser wars gap. (Chrome 10 if you were wondering…)
Windows7 and Vista users will soon discover that IE9 will be a part of their future, like it or not.
On a humorous note (I hope), “Save IE6!”

Just Desserts
Chocolate Covered Matzo via “My Bissim”. Hilla has the most amazing, lovely blog on cooking, which is not only tasty, but is also serious eye-candy. I first happened across her Hebrew blog on WordPress.com’s “Blog of The Day” and she finally started blogging in English a few months ago, to the joy of all.
And from a past post on Passover (don’t say that with a mouthful of matza), from the Mad Evil Scientist: Tiramatzah
More chocolate!
Chocolate Decadence
1 lb. semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chopped in pieces
1/2 c. margarine
1 tbsp. hot water
4 eggs
1 tbsp. potato flour
Preheat oven to hot (200ºC/425ºF). Combine the chocolate pieces, margarine and hot water in a saucepan over low heat until the chocolate is melted and the mixture smooth. Set aside. In a large mixer bowl beat the eggs at high speed until thick. add the potato starch and chocolate mixture until well blended.
Spread the batter evenly in a greased 8″ springform pan and bake for 12-15 minutes. The cake will be soft in the center and will firm up as it cools. Refrigerate well-wrapped until ready to serve. Serve with fresh raspberries and/or raspberry pureé with 1 tsp. sugar. (via aish.com)
