I wouldn't be comfortable with a ledge hanging over my head. What's wrong with these people?

What's wrong? They've got a ginormous rock over their heads, that's what's wrong! XD

I think it's ok now shaor, if not, leave another comment on this clip because there's one more thing I can try. Its a firefox problem, the one program that works for me, they keep trying to replace. Looks like they slipped it in when my back was turned. Sorry about that, chances are a whole lot of people got blocked. This is not good, I might have to forget doing clipmarks on firefox and go back to window.
