    OOoohhh I know. A big red blinking sign that says "You have clicked a link to an off-site .PDF file. Are you on crack?"

    People who deep-link to those evil things should be physically ./'d, and 90% of all .PDF creation should result in public flogging with a wet rope. Seriously, WTF is wrong with good old HTML?
