Gah, Internet Explorer go 'splody!

What the heck is going on with Internet Explorer? I've had this problem for a few days now, on multiple computers, and it seems to be getting worse. I get error messages and then IE closes. I don't even know if I'll be able to finish this message.

Yes, I know there are other browsers, but I'm stuck with IE at work -- no downloads allowed, yadda yadda.

Gah.

EDIT: OK, it seems to only happen when I go to MSN's home page. If I go to msn.com by hitting back, home, or typing in the url, it gives the same error each time. So I'll avoid MSN today. Maybe better for my overall health anyway.

Chess humor!

Wikipedia has an entry for Chess humor that has some absolutely wonderful chess in-jokes. Especially the two chess endings under the "Offbeat interpretations" section.

Enjoy!
