Last night I downloaded and installed Google's new browser, Chrome. I plan on putting it through the ringer today and will, if possible, use it as my primary browser.

Amazingly enough, my last Bigfoot post has turned out to be a hoax!! According to an article over at National Geographic it was merely days after the latest announcement that the siting/find of the body was discounted. According to the report...
