  Virus warning (Message 1 to 1 of 1)

"BusinessGuysOnBusinessTrips.com" is distributing a password stealer virus 
from their home page. If you visit there, you might want to check for it, 
make sure it's blocked in your firewall, etc.  I don't know if there are 
variants other than for Windows. MS Security Essentials finds it, and MS's 
built-in firewall blocks it and alerts you if you have it set up to do so, 
so it seems pretty easy to get rid of.

It's not funny enough to keep in my daily comic list after that, tho.

(I bring this up primarily because it is (A) a nasty virus and (B) I might 
have recommended that site here at some point in the past.)
