Windows icon esthetics
The XP icon style bothered me for some reason, but I could not put my finger on it for a while. Then suddenly it dawned on me that the soft fluffy pastel look makes them look like goddam baby toys.

Where the heck have you been living...
...for the last five years -- in a cave?
How the fuck else could it be that you haven't heard the expression "Fisher-Price interface", which has been in pretty wide-spread use ever since Windows XP appeared on the market?

Your lies are of Microsoftian Scale and boring to boot.

In my defence, I feel obligated to point out that I managed a double hit in two sentences. It took you a lot more than that to get three:)

Huh?
The ammonium nitrate was when I was making laughing gas, ie: nitrous oxide.

Dunno... But isn't Fisher-Price a USAmerican brand?
Which would make the US seem more plausible as the origin.
(And, hey -- wouldn't it be ironic -- are the Teletubbies European?)
