You gotta love free software, Linux, and the Internet...

...when something like the following is made possible by the synergy in the aforementioned lovables:

• a simple and curious idea published as a dear Lazyweb question,
• turns into a script,
• gets topped by the original poster, and
• spawns a new spin on the same idea in a totally separate site.

Thanks, Marnanel, for the mention in your script (and it will be extremely useful for me as well). And thanks, Behdad, for the great idea.
