This explains airport security.

That html will get you every time. I think I have it right now!

I also like "Taking the Plunge."

When I first saw the title of this article (before I read it), the image that came to me was that Disney cartoon where Mickey, Goofy, and Donald are so poor that they only had one bean. They cut it up in slices so thin you could see through them!

Nice try, ted. But thanks for the heads up. It now says "had heard."
