According to IT, Firefox would make the computer more vulnerable to viruses. Yeah, and engaging in abstinence is a risk of AIDS transmission.

		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago while rambling along the potholed roads of Mexico, my compradres and I began a discussion on the etymology of the word avocado. We all thought that it sounded Spanish but knew it wasn’t since the Spanish word for avocado is not avocado.

		<description><![CDATA[In what has to be one of the coolest stories I&#8217;ve come across in a while, a guy has decided that he wants to acquire a house, starting with a red paper clip and progressively trading it up for higher value items. He&#8217;s currently up to a year&#8217;s free rent at a place in Phoenix.

There&#8217;s an artist who uses Photoshop and Illustrator to create as realistic as possible scenes. Some of his earlier works, while very good, still barely look digitial. His [...]]]></description>
