We hope that the image above doesn’t spook your Monday evening. It was taken during a “funeral” that took place last week; for the much beloved (or hated) internet browser named Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.

Organized by Aten Design Group, it supposed to take place at their office but they decided to move to a bigger venue when the event received a sudden surge of interest after highlight by a number of high profile media outlet. According to the obituary at the funeral’s official website, IE6's cause of death was due to “workplace injury sustained at the headquarters of Google, Inc.” which actually a reference to Google’s decision to pull out their support for out-dated browsers.

Even the Internet Explorer developers themselves took interest of the occasion. They sent over some flowers, complete with a personified hand-written message. Quite a farewell, isn't it?

Well, so long then IE6. Thanks for all the beautiful (and hellish) moments that we had together.
