I looked at it and wondered what was so special about it. Only when I read the comments did I suspect that I had been protected from some great evil by my browser. You see, I use Firefox. Firefox removed support a while ago.

It's implemented using a CSS animation that's decorating all of the tags (which is what Google uses to wrap the matched search terms on the page and make them bold.)

This is why the word "html" also blinks on that page.

CSS animations are a more modern feature than tags, of course -- are you using an old version of Firefox?

It doesn't use the blink tag it uses css animation:

animation: 1s steps(1, end) 0s normal none infinite blink;

If my filtering proxy caught , I'd get everything bolded instead. ( http://i61.tinypic.com/20i77kl.png )
