Make your band&#8217;s album cover meme:

<p>I really had no reason to write about this, but I find it amusing that amidst all those legitimate, serious searches, we find <em>Kirsten Dunst</em> at position #8&#8230; Apparently more than a few people have a liking for her, though with Spiderman 3 on the horizon and building up a ton of buzz this isn&#8217;t unexpected.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Now, in order to help you understand this, let&#8217;s use a <em>practical example</em>. Imagine, for a moment, a computer system used by a group of adventurers. The leader of the group wants to forge ahead on their quest while maintaining a healthy amount of privacy and security for the other members of the party. The AROs involved are as following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Gandalf</li>
  <li>Aragorn</li>
  <li>Bilbo</li>
  <li>Frodo</li>
  <li>Gollum</li>
  <li>Legolas</li>
  <li>Gimli</li>
  <li>Pippin</li>
  <li>Merry</li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>

<p>Indeed, a practical example :P</p>
