They're probably spidering the "generated source" of a page, which means any content rendered with JavaScript is now spiderable and indexible [sic, I'm sure] -- what your eyes can see, Google will index.

Coincidentally, only 1/5 of the world can purchase a Milkway candy bar. Haw haw haw!

I live in New Jersey (I know "boo!") and my Dobson is all but worthless. The Jersey night sky is like pink mud. I think I'll put my Dobson to better use and fill it with giant Pringles.

Have a cola and a banana, Squire! That will sort things out.

I wrote a song about Spirit and Opportunity on my album The Secret Lives of Probes, Satellites and Rovers (2008). The song is called Good Life.
