Dave,

Have you noticed that in the past few minutes Microsoft "fixed" the
page. Also notice the fix is a cheap hack. There probably wasn't time
to get a product lookup verification, so they catch the string "Anus."
Change "Anus" to "anus" (or your favorite orafice) and it'll still work.

No claims that the revised version will have the same touch of irony.
