Oh my god. This....can't be! I need to shut down this site right away! Any comic with a spelling mistake doesn't deserve a fansite!

I know exactly how to resolve the issue. When you think about it, it's quite likely that stuff wasn't really "chilli". See <i><a href='http://www.ozyandmillie.net/2001/om20011106.html' target='_blank'>Synonyms for sugar</a></i><br><br>EDIT: Of course, that makes the notion of it being dumped on your head even more gross..

Saying Chilli like that is an old-english way.

Oh wait, because a few minutes before I saw the strip a had looked up 'chilli' on WordWeb, but now I checked 'chili' and it's basicly the same thing, maybe the American way of spelling it.<br><br>It's alright folks!<br>You can turn the lights off at night now.
