What is this?


Someone trying to run before they can walk.
Maybe their browser was extremely lax on rules, but there are basic errors
in the HTML which make it fail.

But, the script is quite good - and funny. The link is his "sponsor", as
the text box should have pointed out if the HTML was correct.

Anyhow, copy the following into a text editor, save it as a .html file, open
it your browser - and watch.
