Just Curious

Please state the answer in the form of a question... Just Curious is the occassional blog of Andrew Nelson. In an attempt to balance the polemical tone of most of the blogosphere, all entries hope to pose at least one useful question. Many entries simply advance useful memes. Personal entries may abandon the interrogative conceit.

For examples, try to do anything in Microsoft Word.)

Anyway, it's worth remembering Bob and the varmits it bore. Here's an interesting little description of the beast.
