Oh thank God. Because I always get confused as to whether I mean Holocaust or Hollaback Girl.

Who's the creator of this thing? Mel Gibson's father?

Dear Brian,

An unfortunate list of words for sure, but for what occasion did *you* add "Hollaback Girl" to *your* spellcheck dictionary? Just curious.

[ Microsoft wants us all to be prepared for what the schools are churning out, is all. -B. ]

sad,sad,sad.

Now that I've finally stopped laughing I might have to start crying.

Well that little event in history was just a hoax, right? RIGHT?!?

Just curious, what would happen if you put in Hollaback girl?
Would Holocaust come up?

[ "Cultural Holocaust." -B. ]

I can see how Holocaust and Hollaback Girl can be confused. Both are deadly when experienced, even if only on the radio.
