Okay, the script failed to execute properly the first time around so I just didn't get the redirect. That made things a bit... cryptic and vaguely reminiscent of that old Onion "blood everywhere" story. Second time worked, though.

And oh shit, now that I see the story proper I actually remember this. Damn, that's a fine bit of web nostalgia. Thanks for bringing that back up (and for getting me to try it again).
