In the "what's the worst that could happen if your web site sucks" department: Slashdot points towards an LA times article on the U.S. bombing of a Sudan pharmaceutical plant which says:

But the officials said they did not believe that the plant actually produced such medicines, because they saw no evidence of such an output when they accessed a Web site for it. Web sites for five other pharmaceutical plants in Sudan listed the medicines produced at those plants.

Slashdot continues: "Wonder what they do to people use use the BLINK tag?" I dunno, but if I had that kind of firepower at my disposal, you know Flutterby! would run a spider looking for arbitrary JavaScript.
