#13On one reload I got a standard internal server error message. Next reload it was gone. If that was on purpose, it is a nice touch.

#20That's an interesting webpage. it has a hidden google ads-field in an iframe. I'm not web-savy enough to fully understand how it works. The "click me as often as you can" contents for sure generate a lot of clicks. genius!
Sounds like something the advertisers wouldn't be very happy about...
