So what is this Chametz Stuff that all the fuss is about?

Chametz is defined in the Torah as the product of fermentation, such as bread, and anything that contains wheat or the "five grains", or other dough that might rise, is banned during Pesach.  Of course, there is Chametz, suspected Chametz, and things that are prohibited because they might be or could contain Chametz.

Some things that might be Chametz can be rendered non-Chametz by making them inedible by adding detergent or bleach.  For example, anything that a dog would not eat is not Chametz (and we all know what fussy eaters dogs are, don't we...)
