First Impressions Count in Website Design 307
Andy King writes "Web designers have as little as 50 milliseconds to capture the interest of potential customers, according a new report by researchers at Carleton University. Through the halo effect, first impressions can influence subsequent judgments of website credibility and buying decisions."

TRINITY: What did you just say?
NEO: Nothing. Just had a little deja vu.
TRINITY: What happened? What did you see?
NEO: A black cat went past us and then I saw another that looked just like it.
TRINITY: How much like it? Was it the same cat?
NEO: It might have been. I'm not sure. What is it?
TRINITY: A deja vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something.

They can take the shit too. Hey, since this entire story is basically off-topic, allow me to present to you... The Aristocrats, goatse style:
A family walks into a talent agency. It's a father, mother, son, daughter and dog. The father says to the talent agent, "We have a really amazing act. You should represent us."
The agent says, "Sorry, I don't represent family acts. They're a little too cute."
The mother says, "Sir, if you just see our act, we know you would want to represent us."
The agent says, "OK. OK. I'll take a look."
The father immediately rips off his clothes turns his back to the agent, bends over, inserts 4 fingers of each hand into his anus and spreads it to a diameter of 8 inches. Meanwhile the mother and daughter have begun a striptease, one on each side of the father. The son begins a magic routine and starts pulling dildos of various sizes out of his hat and the dog shits on the floor.
Once the mother and daughter are totally nude they lie down on the floor with their legs spread and in the air and the son starts throwing the dildos at their gaping snatches while the dog vomits up some road kill and the father holds his position.
Once there is a dildo in each snatch the mother and daughter flip into 69 position on top of the road kill dog barf and start fucking each other with the dildos, the dog sticks its head in the father's gaping anus, and the son strips naked and starts fucking the dog while squeezing the dog's shit like play dough.
The mother and daughter bring each other to screaming, squirting orgasms as the father lets his rectal walls close on the dogs head, the dog starts kicking and bucking as it suffocates and the son moves around to blow the father while jerking himself off his hands covered in dog shit.
The mother and daughter cram both dildos in the dogs ass just as it expires and quickly move around to finish off the son and father in their mouths, which they then snowball right back into the men's mouths, which the men then spit on the dead dog.
All in unison shout "POOR FLUFFY!!! SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD DOG" after which they fall on their faces and prostrate themselves for the agent.
For the longest time, the agent just sits in silence. Finally, he manages, "That's a hell of an act. What do you call it?"
And the father says, "The Aristocrats!"
