link?

Am I too blind to see the link to the original article? I only see a link to the front page of LoL, which isn't especially helpful...

Even better, when you preview your post and then try to Submit it, there's no captcha to enter, but upon submission you're told you didn't enter the captcha correctly. Outstanding.

As well as getting removing scratches from a CD you can also use toothpaste to polish out any scratches from the glass on your wristwatch.
