I couldn't help myself and had to tweak the nose!
And got lucky with nose curses.  [happy7]

Dark storm clouds gather over the great house of Collinwood.
No one nose if Barnabas & Julia will be able to defeat this
latest threat to the old mansion...........

I clicked on the nose and Windows popped-up saying do not join, it has no Copyright Laws.

For that particular floaty you might have accidentally right-clicked on the nose, Doug - that's when the copyright warning comes up. Next time a floaty pops up on screen (and there's no telling when or what that will be [wink2]) be sure to left-click, just like with a normal link.

But I see that you definitely did it correctly once because I checked the log and at 06:50:31 PM ET on April 21st you were lucky enough to catch the Curses Yaeger Nose and it awarded you -46 curses.  [thumbleft]
