Interesting. Yes, that would be ironic. But I'm not detecting flash on the page. Where is it?

I don't know (I don't know much about web creation for that matter).

I started reading the article, and the second time I scrolled I got the little 'busy' cursor. The third time I got a warning and my browser crashed. I was left with a little box telling me there was a flash player incompatibility.
