Indeed that is smile a very interesting interpretation. I love those little crabby treasures, tasty.

The ultimate sense of security will be when we come to recognize that we are all part of one human race. Our primary allegiance is to the human race and not to one particular color or border. -Mohamed ElBaradei, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (b. 1942)

I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking for all of my typing and sometimes you get
some very strange, and often humorous, responses when it misunderstands what
you said.

I just had a very funny "speak-o".
I was dictating what Valerie wanted me to call in to the Chinese restaurant.
First, it did not do well with "egg foo Yung", but that wasn't very
interesting.
Next I tried to say "crab Rangoon" and it understood me to say
"crackbrained". Now I don't know very much about Chinese food, but I
certainly know there's a lot of difference between crab Rangoon and
crackbrained. But, maybe there's some strange connection there...

Thought you guys might find this funny.
