Never thought I'd find myself agreeing with kennyc AND James Murdoch, but we seem to be speaking with one voice

Now Kenny, can I count on you to join me in changing the way we think and talk about this practice to more appropriate language?
Hee-Hee. So that's what's Google is doing eh? Squatting? on the toilet? and we're in the bowl?

Interesting thought though...
