OK, switching from Opera to Firefox shows me what it's supposed to do. Amusing. Though looking at the source and going to the bad browser page, it seems it's supposed to work in Opera. *shrug* And for a page chewing out IE, it sure uses a lot of shitty markup.

I saw reports that if you use iGoogle at all, it breaks this. Plus it should be "rotating", not revolving. Also browser checks are stupid. Also "web", not "Internet".

NoScript says its a potential click-jacking threat (after I enable scripting for the page and watch it go.)

Am I the only person who immediately searched for Dusty Springfield's Windmills of your Mind, and started playing it just to see if the internet would explode?
It didn't, sadly.
Same with googling for therevolvinginternet.com and clicking the link.

Funny as it could only be to someone just listening to a Civil War History, and having Mary Lincoln's story 10 minutes ago.

If you create a page that rotates the other way and feed it into this the Internet implodes.

I tried to watch youtube videos of kitties and the Old Spice commercials, but you can only hear audio of meows and isaiah mustafa while the browser spins to oblivion.

I heard, if you load this site from the other hemisphere, it rotates the opposite direction.

If you use iGoogle, you can still make this work by opening Google in a separate tab and clicking "Classic Home". Revolving Internet then loads that instead, and you can switch back to iGoogle using your other tab afterwards.
Also, I prefer this version of the song.
