    On a related note, God decides to sue Toho for using the word "God" without His permission.

      Where's he going to get the lawyers?

      Plus, I would assume that God would settle out of court. (Lightning rod anyone?)

    ...we need Robert Smith of The Cure to save us now. Nothing like a good ol' roshambo to settle this dispute.

  5. New name / mascot needed. by Hobart · · Score: 5, Funny

    I recommend the Mozilla project change its mascot to another cute character ...

    Something more approachable, but still computer related ... a mouse would do nicely...

    Since the original name was derived from Mosaic, and the NCSA project is shelved and Spyglass is no more, "Mosaic Mouse" would do nicely...

    OK, sing it with me...

    Yeah, and I personally like the diarrhea color scheme of Slashdot better than the register.
