well, I don't know about KFC (yuck!) or Mickey D's, but I am so sick of HP products in every store I see!!!!!!!! And it's all plastic crap, anyhow.

BTW, anybody seen the 'goblets' they have at Burger King for LoTR? Geesh! I mean, really!

And 'philosopher' vs. 'sorceror' is a cultural difference. If you put philosopher on an American title, they think Socrates (*if* they think anything at all), not magic! 'Philosopher's stone' has little meaning for the average Joe (unless he/she reads quite a bit). ::shrugs::

Heck, most don't even know what a sorceror is if it's not Micky Mouse's boss in Fantasia!
