NASA Copied My Website !
exploration.grc.nasa.gov — My website is OnlineClock.net. Looking at my web stats' referrers list, I found that NASA has copied my website onto their server - with my AdWords code and links over to my website intact! They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but they could've ASKED ME before copying my code onto their server. Should I sue or be flattered?!

You guys are probably all too young to remember the powdered orange drink called Tang. They had an ad campaign that promoted Tang as the 'drink of astronauts' because the powdered stuff was actually brought aboard on 'all manned Gemini and Apollo space flights' in the mid 60's.
So - how about my new campaign slogan:
OnlineClock.net - Internet Alarm Clock of the Astronauts !
=>don't laugh...maybe it'll help pay my server costs :-/
- rss2pdf, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Of course I would never sue - I am truly deeply flattered, and I love NASA !
Knowing the power of Digg they'll find out about this and take it down. When they do, I already have a screenshot online here, hehehe:

I know it dude - this might be a dream come true...how many SEOs out there would kill to have NASA voluntarily link to their site ?!!
Thank you, NASA...and now, will you please copy all of my OTHER websites ? - rss2pdf, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1UPDATE:
Just as I expected, NASA has now blocked access to the copy of OnlineClock.net on their server.
No matter - I took several screenshots of their copy of my site while it was still accessible. To see a screenshot, visit this link:
