Linkers,

Looking for TV viewing habit data, I called up this search:
<http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=australian+television+viewing+habits+site%3Aau&btnG=Search&meta=>

...and there on the first page of results was a News.com.au link:
<http://www.google.com.au/interstitial?url=http://ink.news.com.au/mercury/mathguys/articles/1999/990224a3.htm>

...with Google's "this site may harm your computer" warning... using the
target URL brings up just the News.com.au link with the warning.

Now, I know that some people consider reading the Murdoch media to be
harmful in various ways, but it's the first time I've known Google to agree!

Sorry for the trivia, returning you to normal programming now...

RC
