Ah, it's fixed now. Though I see that Edward just preceded me in posting and we were probably looking at this page/typing in the comment box at the same time.
What! Firefox's add-ons make it, like, hyper-usable.
On an unrelated note, the comment panel says I'm logged in as "Edward" though my profile page shows the correct log-in. It's too early for April Fool's so...
@Damon55: He made the first point just fine. The point was that people would do it, not that they would enjoy it. That none of them "pushed the switch smiling" is not contrary to that.
@c0ldfish: I'm not sure what you mean about the first Milgram "video," but more than 5 people were put through the test, and more than 1 in 5 (still 20%!) participated. Unless you mean only a small fraction was willing to go all the way to the max voltage, but that's being a little too dismissive of the implications of the experiment.
In the world history class I took in 10th grade, the teacher put us through a thought exercise on defining what should count as a continent, since obviously they aren't discrete land masses or even necessarily cultures. If so, "Afreurasia" [or something] would be even more accurate than Eurasia, since Africa is actually connected to that whole chunk.

Also, since when was Verdana pixelated like that?
