Poor Raistlin. The once mighty Black Robe now reduced to nothing more than an Image Macro.  :(

By the way, I just finished installing Firefox and I don't think I'll be looking back.

Edit- I just noticed the bottom pic, Demo. O eye C is hilarious.

I just had to explain to my SO what Firefox was and how to use it.

On a somewhat related note, I just finished reading this.

"Dragons Of Autumn War and Peace by Dostoyevsky" is a pile of crap... it's so poorly written, I don't know how anyone could get through it.  I never liked that book.  The other two in the Chronicles trilogy are far better... I think Weis and Hickman got a lot better as they went along.  By the time they got to the "Legends" trilogy they were pretty decent.

I'm waiting for the "Annotated Legends" to come out in paperback now.

I've read all three of them. I'll probably just pick up the hardcover version. For some reason, I really dislike paperback books.
