After seeing [this website](http://www.nyder.com/cthulhu/cthulhucomic.html) that **OpalCat** linked to over in MPSIMS, I have to say that I think we need a Cthulhu smiley! :-)¨V

The little Jewish smiley has the red “X” today. What did it look like? Or do I have to have a Jewish compatible browser to view it?

Converting to the monochrome smileys seems to have cut our population down. Besides the Jewish one, Putz, Smack, and Dubious are all gone.

Anybody know if they’re coming back?

On reflection, I guess I should have said _ **kosher** _ browser. 🙂
