Will nothing topple the Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenocerous lyrics post from its seemingly permanent place atop the rankings, where it resides for the third consecutive month?

The Internet would be an unimaginably poorer place without you. Also, Internet Explorer topped Firefox for the first time, and someone visited on a PSP.
