I could survive for 1 minute, 3 seconds chained to a bunk bed with a velociraptor1 minute, 3 seconds

The illustration on the quiz is inaccurate as the real Velociraptor was the size of a dog and not larger than a man.

Do you want me to shut up yet?

I came across a nice juicy bug in Internet Explorer today. New to me, but not to everyone else.

The short version is, if you change the useMap property of an img node then when the new map has fewer area nodes than the old one, IE will crash.
