Just a note to those who don't like to use the terminal if they can help it - this program can also be closed using the activity monitor.

This an amazingly funny little app. My wife and I got laughing so hard that we both ached. It's one of those things that's so silly, so stupid that it just keeps building. You can't believe you're lauging at it, but you can't stop either.
