    Seen it before.. Dont press it... Its a continuous loop, you have to turn off your PC to get rid of it...

    No you dont... its just a flash animation.

    There is absolutely NO possibility of having to "turn your PC off to get rid of it".

    Do not press this button
    I guarantee* you don't want to press that button. You have been warned. I pressed it, and the cat exploded.

    On second thoughts, do press the button. Never liked that cat anyway.


    I think there was a page similar to that before that used Javascript to re-spawn the window when you closed it. An <on exit> script or some such. Quite evil as you would have to kill the process to stop it, or if you were smart enough you just dissable javascript and leave that page, then re-enable javascript (or leave it off because javascript is evil). Firefox solves a lot of that problem though. 'twas years ago in the IE3/Netscape 4 days.
