The really HOT/COOL stuff happens if you hold your finger down on the scroll button until you get to the bottom of the page.

That has to be absolutely the weirdest web site I have ever run across. Every one of those lines is hypertext; when you click on one of the lines you get an apparently random access into an absolutely huge data base of totally uninteresting digital (or digitized) pictures, along with links to other places within the base. At least I think that's how it works.

It's an art project of some sort, and I will state publicly that prior to this I had been in favor of spending taxpayer money for grants by the National Endowment for the Arts. If this site got ONE PENNY of my money I am gonna be writing my Congressman!

Wow. That is a really weird site. I think it might have been some sort of e-mail chain letter were you add a h word every time. Then apperently someone made it into something really weird. After I read about 500 of the words (not the web pages), and looked at how much I had to go, I just gave up and scrolled like you said. It's so weird looking. You see one word, but then it's gone... freaky.

It is, I think, an advertisement.

But if you go into the link and change indexh to indext you get an entirely new set of words and new links from those words. The data base must be hu-darned-mongous.

If each of those words is a separate link and each picture is 20 KB or so, and if there are literally tens of thousands of pictures along with the associated links, tht starts adding up to some disk space somewhere.

Ah but yes, from out the madness sanity yet protrudes compliantly.

Go to "J" then click on the first "Janetjackson". See?

Nope. Did think this was funny, though.

It's all Father Steve's fault. I googled Joe Hutchinson Hoona Spoona lyrics and the only link that came up was the lyrics with no info. Google said "Did you mean Joe Hutchinson Hoona Spoon lyrics? so, thinking I might find something about that song there, this is what I found instead. They are all clickable?! You guys have way too much time on your hands. I liked it because it was words doing cool tricks and highly creative...

Hey, I found Jesus
And indexg will take you home.
