It will become another cult web site in time. They’re running Google Analytics with it. The virtual word of mouth here will spread, Analytics will record the “success rate” and a bit down the road, someone in the trade press or script kiddie site with turn it into an overnight sensation. Then the mainstream media will report it.

It appears owned by a shell company acting as a consultant group out of Washington, DC. (They appear to have government contracts.) So it’s probably one of their script kiddies using the company server just for fun. It boosts the hit rate on the server so that can use those stats and claim their official company web site is getting more hits, which leads to more potential sales and contracts, etc. Seen it before.

This is surely a new meaning of the word “win”. You are very evil, **Least Original U.N.** and must go to bed with no supper. 😃

I like this: good old Straight Dope. It gives me a very annoying site BUT also a bit of potentially useful information. Well, in that if I ever happen to meet an alligator, I suppose I’ll know just to offer it a smoke or some fast food or something. 🙂

And I have made the multi-quote thing work. I feel cleverer than a unicorn with rainbows!

Alligators absolutely love big, puffy marshmallows. Give a chill one some of those and you have a friend for life. I am not kidding. They also love chicken too which may help explain why they really do like it.

Well, you haven’t won an Internet yet. After you win one, it’ll become oh so clear.

Now that I’ve won one Internet, this will win me my second: [http://www.kittehroulette.com/](http://www.kittehroulette.com/)
