    saved the CNN weather page and opened it in an HTML editor and modified it. Then put it up on the web. takes minutes to do.

    Nope! Its on the real CNN site! :D

    Used a little exploit in the search engine to display the error, all they did is add some HTML to the error string. Seriously, why do people STILL use the GET variable to store page content??!

    The code they passed to the search page was :
