Irukandji Jellyfish

I finished my second day of the two day "Apply First Aid" course yesterday, and among the things we looked at was stings and bites. The Irukandji jellyfish has the normal "Headaches", "Back pain", "Nausea", etc symptoms, but then at the end of the list you have "Feeling of impending doom."

IE is Being Mean to Me

A song about Internet Explorer. I don't actually have to develop for IE, but whenever a customer finds a bug before our testing team I'm the first to hear about it.An interesting thing I've observed from these various bug reports is that nearly every display bug happens in only one specific browser; can you guess which one?
