Google Toolbar Tracks Your Browsing, Even When Off

    I would say that we've all jumped the shark by misusing the phrase "jumped the shark."

    That phrase is so pale and bucket anyways.

    Every day more and more I like Chinese.

    The world today seems absolutely crackers
    With nuclear bombs to blow us all sky high
    There's fools and idiots sittin' on the trigger
    It's depressing and it's senseless, and that's why

    I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    They only come up to your knees
    Yet they're always friendly, and they're ready to please

    I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    There's nine hundred million of them in the world today
    You'd better learn to like them, that's what I say

    I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    They come from a long way overseas
    But they're cute and they're cuddly, and they're ready to please

    I like Chinese food, the waiters never are rude
    Think of the many things they've done to impress
    There's Maoism, Taoism, I Ching, the Google hack and chess

    So I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    I like their tiny little trees
    Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese

    I like Chinese thought, the wisdom that Confucius taught
    If Darwin is anything to shout about
    The Chinese will survive us all without any doubt

    So, I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    They only come up to your knees
    Yet they're wise and they're witty and they're ready to please
    All together

    Wo ai zhongguo ren, wo ai zhongguo ren
    Wo ai zhongguo ren
    Ni hao ma; ni hao ma; ni hao ma; zaijien

    I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    Their food is guaranteed to please
    A fourteen, a seven, a nine and lychees

    I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    I like their tiny little trees
    Their Zen, their ping-pong, their yin and yang-ese

    I like Chinese, I like Chinese
    They only come up to your knees

    Yes, stick a fork in it... "jump the shark" is done.
