Bah! You're right, I changed it to just be an easter egg in the
code. The original (now commented out) was:
<?
if(stristr($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'],"msie")) {
die("No friend of Internet Exploder is a friend of mine.");
}
?>
It initially started to try to stop cURL, wget, Lynx, and other
automated clients from grabbing the content from the page. Again, I
know that headers can be spoofed, but that's a different topic. I try
to make a joke and Stut shoots me in the ass. ;-P

If at first you don't succeed, stick to what you know best so that you
can make enough money to pay someone else to do it for you.
