Looks like it's a cut/paste error. If you do wget www.doioig.gov, this is the page you get. Notice the meta refresh that points to stackoverflow.com. window.location.href = "http://www.doi.gov/oig/index.cfm" Page Redirection If you are not redirected automatically, please click the link to continue to the U.S. Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General.

I've often wondered what all those extra bits of information mean and whether there's information encoded in there that I may not want to give someone.

That's brilliant, surprised that Google managed to rank them so highly because of it though!
