Using Firefox 3. For me it worked the second time I tried in the google cache link, removing the pop up blocker too. And if you keep clicking on the images that appear with your mouse you will continue to get unicorns up to the armpits of Mel Kipper. ---

Yeah, the cached version worked for me, except – all that BABABA, and not a _single_ Invisible Pink Unicorn! ---

I just tried it in Safari and it worked. Not the cached version. Every time I hit b, a, another thing popped up. Sometimes unicorns, sometimes rainbows. Never got Mel Kipper’s armpits though. ---

You’re not typing anything into anything else. When the screen loads, you just hit the arrows on your keyboard. ---
