I find it hilarious that this made it's way into an Amazon listing for some waterproofing chemical. https://web.archive.org/web/20210607233655/https://www.amazo...

(It's on page 24, at the bottom of the References section.)

And a Seventh Day Adventists sabbath lesson, as the only portion in English.

Serious question: are you guys trolling? Is this like describing Rick Rolling by actually Ricking Rolling people?

I only ask because when I click on these links, I get a while bunch of legitimate text, but noting actually useful. Am I missing something?

In the case of the last one it's immediately above the "Related posts" at the bottom. In all cases, this is a job for ^F. (I was genuinely surprised all the random links cited on the website _still work_, and had to search the page for them.)

An (obvious) injected link, as described in the article, is at the bottom of the Sabbath lesson I posted.

Amazing!

This is fantastic. I added this example to the post. Thanks!

go to "view page source" and then search
