If you ever need to prove Google is wrong every now and then - it  
finds "Klong" as the definition. I looked it up, and The Meaning of  
Liff gives it as "Sheppey" - defined as "Measure of distance (equal  
to approximately seven eights of a mile), defined as the closest  
distance at which seep remain picturesque".

I find this mismatch strangely fitting, given the subject of  
discussion right now.

Indeed.

Thank you. I needed that. Tomorrow, my cow-orkers will wonder why I'm  
behaving that way. Readers here will realize why, and approve.And any  
developer who calls in sick will bless his bird-flu.
