"That was a bad idea."

Well um, no s**t. What were you thinking news dude?

I've used Firefox on the wife's computer and on my home computer for the last couple of years. I've also used it here at my son's shop for the last year. I would recommend giving it a try. Works great, lots of add-ons available and frequently updated.

I kind of like the show too. But you know, that the premise is a bit thin. Why would a 400 year old guy be a cop?
