Oooh, I was just whining about wanting the rest of the scripts -- does that count? Don't wanna get stomped!

In my opinion, no. We're more concerned about tape/DVD trading. Scripts aren't traded, they're just posted online. That said, we need to be careful about posting links to script sites, but that's up to the script host to decide.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Threads up? Everything's all official?

Okay.

I was totally kidding about the Pig Latin. Just so you all know. Sorta a kick to see the idea catch on, but very surprising.

Our wings are not tired.

This is why tossing out the crazy ideas is encouraged in troubleshooting meetings. And thanks MM, it will make me grin every time I see that slug.

All is well that ends in pizza.

This is why tossing out the crazy ideas is encouraged in troubleshooting meetings.

I hear tell a city council meeting got so worked up about snowbound fire plugs once that a member stood up and proposed that nearby fire plugs should be cleared two weeks before any fire.

It was voted on immediately and passed.

Make of that what you will.

Daniel, I didn't know there was a city outside Sang Sacre, run by Buffistas!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Cindy, I think you missed the part about it being voted on immediately...

back to the off-topic topic for a moment...

It is. The antisemitic site, jewwatch dot com, has been the highest rank for about 3 years. Someone finally made this known publicly about a month ago, and they are now trying to push the Wikipedia page for Jew higher by putting a link to it under the word Jew on as many web pages as possible.

The wiki page is number one, right now. That 'watch' page is now down to number 2, now.

Google Results

Yesterday, at the top of the page, above the results, there were news hits, about the popularity of that 'watch' site. Today, above the results, Google has a link with the following text:

Offensive Search Results www.google.com/explanation We're disturbed about these results as well. Please read our note here.

It's good to see them publically acknowledge the phenom, and explain what they can. Google notes that people looking for information on things Jewish tend to use search terms such as Judaism, Jewish, etc., where more racist motivated searches tend to use the word Jew. They link two informative sites on Jewish people/Judaism, and also the ADL, JewishInternetAssociation.org, and Google's results for a search on anti-semitism.
