Dear God, the entire source is on one line. There aren't even spaces between tags. From looking around the website a bit, this doesn't appear to be a joke, so I'm seriously wondering how this could happen without anyone noticing.

Hilarious! Initially I was thinking "poor fellow who made this mistake" and eventually I felt like I got trolled, this almost feels like its not a mistake! PS: There are 38 s and 2 s.

Since the site was made in FrontPage, I’m guessing that the FrontPage WYSIWYG view showed the site as looking fine, so the author didn’t bother to visit every page on the site after mass-uploading the pages.
