A good point. I did google and decided I couldn't be bothered to look through all the links. Teh lazy won out. I also ate KFC for dinner that night, so it must have been a systemic failure.

It must have been all those trans fatty acids that are in the oil that they cook their food in. I sware, trans fatty acids are addicting, that's why fast food sales have been on the rise for the last decade.

Wasn't that position renamed to "Cheif's Secretary" for sexual harrasment violations?
