Full contents below for those who are lazy.

It's amazing how many sites "borrowed" the Adamesque text contents, and pretty much unchanged, used them in a variety of interfaces... This one isn't as good since you have to manually scroll the textarea, but I've seen some with Java or DHTML or Marquee that shows the updating text almost like the opening of a Star Wars film...

Still, definitely classic nethumour.

The text dynamicly filled in the text area when I viewed the site... What browser where you using and did you have scripting turned off?

IE. On WinXP. I think it was just a 4-line textarea - it got "filled in" dynamically, but seeing as it is a textarea it didn't automatically advance to the end or anything (I've seen some done with IFRAME or even CSS "overflow" that would automatically scroll to the "end" as it got updated.

Bah, who cares anyhow, I stopped keeping up with the browser/css/webstandards race months ago
