Outfox, Outsearch With Firefox

Posted by timothy on from the feel-unlucky dept.

    Not using a search engine, I know, but it drives my nuts that when I'm forced to use IE I have to use the CTRL-F Find window.

    Speaking of driving one's nuts, here's a little joke:

    One day a pirate walks into a bar. He sits down at the counter, shitfing uncomfortably in his seat. The bartender notices this, and then comes to the realization that, in fact, the pirate has a steering wheel shoved down his pants. His curiosity piqued, the bartender asks the pirate, "Hey, why do you have a steering wheel down your pants? Isn't that uncomfortable?" to which the pirate replies, "Arr!!! It's driving me nuts!"

    Snare, crash. Thank you.
