    and, if you try it in IE, you get a nice blue background. Interesting, eh?

    also, in mozilla or netscape, try about:fishcam or hit CTRL-ALT-F. or type about:anythingyouwanttowrite and you will see whatever you wrote after the about. (in the unix version of netscape it says "Whatchew talkin' 'bout, Willis?"). There are several other netscape easter eggs, but I forget them.. I think the funniest thing is that microsoft decided to include code for about:mozilla in IE (...or they didn't remove it entirely from the netscape source...)

    No, the bible says "thou shalt not kill." It does not say murder. The bible also tells you not to change the words of the bible. It is up to you on how you want to take the meaning of the word "kill", but the bible still clearly says not to kill. It does not give any reasons where it is ok to kill, it just says not to. Personaly, I agree with you that murder is not acceptable, though I personally believe that even God would allow self defense. I just wish people would at least get the bible correct when they try to represent it.
