<a href="http://www.technerve.com/">BlockXXX</a> is a new extension for <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/">Firefox</a> that blocks pornographic content (the anti-<a href="http://www.squarefree.com/pornzilla/">Pornzilla</a>, if you will). According to its release notes: <q>This seems to work pretty well, although there are definitely some holes (large and gaping).</q> Definitely not working well then.

Until about a month ago, all <span title="plural of “Firefox”">Firefoxen</span> contained the legend <q>Cookies are delicious delicacies.</q> to describe cookies. Then Mike Connor decided that <a href="http://www.squarefree.com/archives/000520.html" title="Cookies are no longer delicious delicacies"><q>Cookies are pieces of information stored by web pages on your computer. They are used to remember login information and other data.</q></a>. Distraught, I <a href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=105452" title="Cookies *are* delicious delicacies, dammit!">incited the creation of an extension to restore the legend</a>.
</p>
<p>
A month passed and the world had all but forgotten about our delicious delicacies... until Jesse Ruderman published the <a href="http://www.squarefree.com/extensions/delicious-delicacies/">Delicious Delicacies</a> extension, dramatically subtitled <cite>Restore the legend</cite>. The world rested in peace once more.
