I'm chatting with a friend on IM as the numbers flow in. We're teaming up and splitting duties between news sources, and sending each other info on MSN Instant Messenger. I copied and pasted numbers from a web page into the MSN IM program:

Candidate	Vote %	Electoral vote
Bush (R)	51%	269
Kerry (D)	48%	207
Nader (I)	0%	0
77% of precincts reporting

And here is what was sent/converted by the IM client when I cut-and-pasted the text:

Interesting that MSN IM thinks Bush is the gay one, Kerry is a drunk, and Nader has the bright ideas. And it must be true - I saw it on the Internet!

Or maybe I'm missing something? ;-)
