The Yahoo! Slurp Spiders...

are feeding heavily today. Don't step on one as they crawl through AW. They are harmless.

ETA: Oh, almost forgot. You can see some of them here:

That's not true. My palms are hairy, too.

I wonder if MS. Nbot is hot? She's been crawling around here, too.

-Yahoo! Slurp Spiders- crawl across the web collecting information for its search engine. MS. Nbot (MSNbot) is the Microsoft version.

All those 'lurkers' you see viewing AW on the main page? Most of them are search engine bots.
