    It has just been revealed that Mozilla Firefox v3 has built-in robots. Mozilla's not talking and so far no one has been able to decipher exactly what the robots are up to or why they are even there.

    And the thing is, they are hidden in plain sight!

    If you are using Firefox v3 right now, copy this text into the address bar of a new tab:
    about:robots

    LOL :lol:

    I particularly like:
    Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten.
