[thelist] Horrific Web Sites - Intentionally

[Plunkett, Matt]

Bad Tara!  Making me laugh out loud at work.  

I think the Mountain Secondary School one is the best (?) on the page...

<tip>

If you're using Perl, try to "use strict" in your scripts.  Forcing strict
declaration of variables will prevent many problems that can result from
typos and so on.

	Richard,

	I found this guy's list after searching for "bad web sites" on
google. They
	seem pretty awful. I was looking for one of the fake sites, but some
of the
	real ones are just as bad.

	Check it out:

	HTH,
