Lame! Yahoo! Turns out they're doing a really crappy job of filtering out scripts from people's emails. They mean well, they want to prevent someone from emailing you a virus. But they do a dumb job, changing entire words in the process. I had a lot safer and more elegant solution four years ago when I was trying to ban certain words (and/or still let myself post them) on a bulletin board I was running.

Wooly bully... A giant tusk found in Colorado. Neat. Good picture. (Know what is also fun? The Dinosaur Digs expansion pack for Zoo Tycoon. Lets you add Wooly Mammoths and other prehistoric creatures to your zoos. (Though I'm still a little annoyed that one of the prehistoric cats jumped out of its cage and ate one of my maintenance workers recently.)

This is a great article on why the bill the Senate passed (which will ultimately be combined with a similar bill passed by the house and eventually signed by the president into law) is worthless: Stock options. Stock options cost the company something, but they don't have to report anything. Coke is the only company that's stepped up to fence and said they will start reporting stock options. That should make them more stable and make their numbers more realistic than anyone else's. Which is why I'm considering buying some Coke stock.
