A reader writes: "Many sources report that DoubleClick - the world's leading supplier of cookies - may be up for sale. " There's also an AP report out as well. The online advertising market has been hard lately - but there's also been a widespread perception that DoubleClick has been resting on their laurels.

On the blocks? by His+name+cannot+be+s · 2004-11-01 05:52 · Score: 0, Offtopic

"On the blocks" sounds like a misquote of having something "up on blocks" which refers to having a vehicle being serviced (Ie, up off its tires, on blocks).

"On the block" (No plural) would indicate that that it is on the auction block (ie, up for sale).
