best one of the original list:3 Thou shalt take notice of the swimmers who beat thee...Other than that, I got nothin.I hate this editor... though I am using the Chrome beta 3, which could have something to do with the text all running together.

I have to use IE for this site.  I use Google Chrome for all my other web browsing, but it doesn't work well with BT.
