How the fuck did that < br /> tag get there.

It's poetv's way of using html to tell you that you done broke it.

Actually it's just the unique length of your url and poetv's need of putting in a break tag when the string of characters get too long. Sometimes when you get it just right, you can trick the site into bolding your text.

Here, let me try:

boldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldboldah BOOOOLD!

I have no idea whether or not that worked. The string either needs to be 64 characters long or 62. Ask Bort, he was the first one to figure this out.

Ah, thank you. That also explains the spaces that show up in URLs a lot of the time.

I think the sequence goes like this:

1) Carriage returns are turned into BR tags at the end of a line.

2) Spaces are inserted every 64 characters (like, after the 64th character) if there's not a word break.

So if you have a line that's 62 chars long with no word breaks, a space will be inserted after the "B" in the auto-inserted "BR", and make it look like a bold tag.

So if I do this:

Perhaps this line will be bold.

Goddammit.

Those were the days

Also, this is some of the most unlistenable music I've sat through in a long time. I say this as someone who can listen to Double Fantasy in it's entirety without skipping any tracks or killing myself.
