The email they sent to announce the beta (if you signed up to get it) has some interesting stats:

  Hi there,
  
  Thanks for signing up to hear from us regarding Google Chrome for Mac! We're excited to let you know that Google Chrome is now available in beta for Mac OS X.

  Here are a few fun facts from us on the Google Chrome for Mac team:

  -73,804 lines of Mac-specific code written
  -29 developer builds
  -1,177 Mac-specific bugs fixed
  -12 external committers and bug editors to the Google Chrome for Mac code base, 48 external code contributors
  -64 Mac Minis doing continuous builds and tests
  -8,760 cups of soft drinks and coffee consumed
  -4,380 frosted mini-wheats eaten
  Thanks for waiting and we hope you'll give Google Chrome for Mac a whirl.

The 8.43:1 ratio of LoC to soft drinks/coffee consumed made me laugh.

...but for a bullet list...

* Use a leading asterisk

* Separate the list items by a blank line (i.e. make them separate paragraphs)

- Leading dashes work too.
