According to reports, a new wave of exploits has appeared taking advantage of a vulnerability Adobe Flash Player. Allegedly over 200,000 web sites now have redirects to malware, including keyloggers, through embedded Flash. And we all know how evil keyloggers can be. Flash Player 9.0.115.0 appear to be the affected version.
Adobe quickly responded to the issue, saying that the vulnerability is fixed in 9.0.124.0, the latest version of the player, so to make yourself secure, all you need to do is update your Flash. To check what version you are running, go to this Adobe page. Keeping your software up-to-date is one of the best ways to close security holes; if you're truly paranoid, you could always go the route of adding Flashblock and/or No-Script into your browser. And be sure to keep an eye on our new Azeroth Security Advisor column for more tips on how to keep yourself from being compromised. Once again, to update your Flash and patch this vulnerability go to Adobe's "Get Flash" page.
Update: It is possible that certain versions of 124 (namely, the standalone version for Linux and the standalone version with debug capabilities for Windows) are also affected by the exploits. At this time it is recommended to disable Flash if you are running those versions.
Update 2: It is currently believed that all versions of 124 are safe. Nevertheless, caution is generally a good idea.

Thank goodness it wasn't good beer, it was just a 6 pack of Stone that attacked me at the grocery store:
Zash waiting for her stitches
Zash's Bloody Foot
The Gash
The Gash Bath
Zash getting her stitches..
15 Stitches
The awesome thing is that when the 3 hot firemen arrived at the grocery store to re-wrap my leg and take me to the hospital, they saw the 6 pack of Stella I was actually trying to pick up and said "Oh, you actually were getting the good beer, thank god that isn't what broke. Do you want one for the road?"
That and my other favorite quote:
HOT FIREMEN #1: "What should we do with all the blood in her other shoe?
HOT FIREMEN #2: "Eh, poor it on the floor."
Well, Aven said he always finds chicks with scars hot, so I decided it was time to get one...
