: waypoints on  the web. Aren't snakes inherently bad? :)


The Olympic site (www.olympic.org) comes up because pages within that site
use the .asp extension.

I can't find any sites/pages related to asps (as in the snakes) in the first
10 pages of results, so I doubt that has a significant impact upon the ~323
*million* hits for the search term ASP. Searching for: ASP snake returns only
~737,000 hits.
