silly all-me AIM bit

me: i think a fly just either electrocuted or fried itself on my lamp
me: i heard "zzzt zzzt zzzt ... tap" as it fell straight down onto the cd case
me: well, if it did either, it survived
me: it's managed to right itself and will probably fly off soon

(later...)

me: dumb-ass fly! it did the same thing again! zzt zzt zzt plop...
me: maybe the fly likes electrocution
me: the fly is just standing there
me: can't even walk it off
me: "whoa.. dude... i need another jolt! yeah! whoa... can't fly yet... *clings to 'floor' * "
me: (see, it's a californian fly, therefore it must say "dude")

Does anyone have any idea where I might be able to get small bells, of a traditionalish (though miniature) shape, that are made out of sterling silver or at least a silver alloy? I've found a few "fine jewelry" types which run $90-100 each but they're not only too big, but far too expensive to consider when I need nine of them for what I'm planning to do. So far the best I've been able to find is a site selling cat and dog bells, which had a nice small simple one - $27 each, still on the steep side for nine. I'm really hoping I can do better than that, although if not then I guess I'll have to think of something else (silverplate some brass or bronze ones?).

yay windows update... *snerk*

Nice wording here: "A vulnerability exists in Outlook Express that could allow an attacker to cause Outlook Express to fail." WTF? (I'd say that it already fails by having such a vulnerability.) Most of them just have the standard "this hole means a mean person could make your computer go boom" wording. But I like that, "fail". That's just supremely vague.
