If it hadn’t been for the Pope…
5 Historical Attempts to Ban Coffee
Mecca: Banned!
Constantinople: Banned!
Sweden: Banned! (Death by coffee?! Speaking as an expat Minnesotan, this has me scratching my head.)
Prussia: Discouraged. (Think about that for a minute.)
Italy: But for Pope Clement VIII, Italy might have banned coffee. (Yes, his record on matters concerning the Jews wasn’t enlightened, thereby proving he was a man of his time.)

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!”
