A Man and his Penguin

I used to have a website that parodies the W3C - it’s available at http://members.lycos.co.uk/bigbolshevik/w3c/

It has a "birthday card" in it that you can sign, the trick being that as you press keys on your keyboard, it actually types what IT wants you to say. At the end, you can submit it and it will appear on the page.

The reason I mention it is because I got an e-mail from Lycos today, telling me that my MySQL database has been locked due to it going over its 10 megabyte limit. Fcuk! I checked it out - looks like the birthday card has been mercilessly spammed. That’s right: There is nearly 10 megabytes of plain-text spam in that table. Scary.
