c9Silly things:
1. Mononucleosis, the class was told, is a disease that "whores" get. I guess that explains where I got it then.
2. In advertising and spam email, hyperlinks are usually uniquely generated, so that a company can tell when YOU click a spam link, as opposed to just somebody. This is also used oin legitimate email, for example to ensure that an unsubscribe link connects with you, and can't be guessed by someone with ill intent.
Today I received some advertising from Destina.ca, Air Canada's attempt to fight the various travel websites. Keeping in mind that these are supposed to be automatically computer-generated, take a look and see if you see any trouble:
