Yes, I would like to know as well. I don't like voting for something that I know nothing about. I would recommend telling us all what it is that that link is for. Cause it would be the nice thing to do. :p

Hmmm.....stupid link didn't work :(

I figured out what happened. I'm using opera and the url chagnes whenever it loads something different on the page. I must have copied the link before the page had finish loading. The link was to a voting box on the site.

Here's the actual story:

LOL! Scientists are so cool :D

My only question is that if the cookie dosen't crumble, then how will it break apart correctly in the mouth :) It has to fragment with minimal pressure from the teeth, and this may put a stop to it! :eek:

LMAO! That's awesome! I can't believe somebody realized that fact :D
