It is not blood, my fine young padawan.
It is the viscous secretions of their fragrant arousal.
When they see the big man himself nailed to a plank, it makes them do the vaginal drippy drip.

huh? But you just said who they were - Al Qaeda. No one has a clue where the US army is going to strike next either - they keep that information top secret, and do it from planes and missiles hundreds of miles away. At least Al Quada always own up.
After 3 days of investigation, I discovered that Firefox has a spyware-related bug that might have been planted by a disgruntled employee. To see the bug, execute the following steps.
o nv.asp?forumId=F100000015&convId=168149".
1. Create a sign-in account at Google.
2. Uninstall Firefox.
3. Sign out of AOL. (I am using AOL dialup.)
4. Shutdown your computer.
5. Power on your computer.
6. Start AOL and log into your dialup account.
7. Download Firefox. (The download takes about 20 minutes.)
8. Install Firefox.
9. Sign out of AOL.
10. Shutdown your computer.
11. Power on your computer.
12. Start AOL and log into your dialup account.
13. Start Firefox.
14. In the URL bar, type "groups.google.com/group/talk.politics.misc"
15. After you see the web page for "talk.politics.misc", click on
"sign-in", which is located on the left side of the web page.
16. Log into Google.
17. Now, in the URL bar, type "socialize.morningstar.com/NewSocialize/asp/FullC
18. After you see the Morningstar web page for the conversation
(titled "emerging markets AND international value??") in the
"Vanguard Diehards" forum, you will notice about 100 randomly placed
question marks (i.e., "?").
I have tested both Internet Explorer 6.0 and Opera 8.5. Neither of these browsers suffers the above problem.
Clearly, there is some spyware (integrated into Firefox) that is triggered by
an authenticated logon into a Google Usenet discussion group. The Morningstar
discussion thread then causes the spyware to act.
If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please tell me. I like Firefox. Although Opera is more reliable than Firefox, the user interface of Firefox
is the best (for me).
How do I notify Mozilla of this spyware-related problem with Firefox?
