Microsoft's software download site was briefly categorised as a marijuana-related site and blocked by censorware outfit 
Websense on Monday. Websense blamed human error for the slip-up (or should that be splif-up), which it was able to quickly 
correct.

"For a brief period of time on Monday, the Websense database categorized www.microsoft.com/downloads incorrectly. Our system 
detected the error immediately," Websense said in a statement.

So would that be "puff puff patch" then?
