The following was forwarded to me from a friend. <p>>Where do you want to go today?<br>><br>>Straight to hell, apparently.<br>><br>>The other day I saw another Microsoft commercial on TV: sublime <br>>choral music drifts through the background as the unseen user <br>>surfs through the Internet and various Microsoft content using <br>>Internet Explorer. The commercial closes with the Microsoft <br>>slogan "Where do you want to go today?" and a final, furious <br>>blast of music. It's a very cool effect. But if you dig a little <br>>deeper...<br>><br>>As it turns out, the background music is the Dies Irae of <br>>Mozart's Requiem Mass. And the words of the final blast of chorus <br>>which accompanies "Where do you want to go today?" are actually <br>>"confutatis maledictis, flammis acribus addictis..." In English: <br>>"When the damned are confounded, and consigned to sharp <br>>flames..."; which describes exactly where I want to go today.<br>><br>>Unfortunately, while Explorer will take you to hell for free, the <br>>upgrade to purgatory is pretty steep.<br>
