You can also submit your own favorite jokes for all the Web to see. Under the Cats Category, I came across this quickie: Does a radioactive cat have 18 half-lives?

Clean your system with CCleaner

Fast PDF reader

Fed up waiting for your PDF files to download with Adobe Reader? There’s a new alternative reader that’s much faster: Sumatra PDF Reader for Windows. Sumatra takes up minimal disk space - it has a 1MB setup file (compared to Adobe Reader’s 27.5 MB). It was designed for portable use, consisting of one single file, making it ideal for running from a portable USB flash drive, but it can also be used as the default reader on your PC for quickly viewing files. One useful feature of Sumatra PDF is that it remembers the last opened page for each PDF file, very helpful when reading e-books.
