Information
Just for fun, although it may have some serious application, a coded menu of spies.
Just hover your mouse over any of the squares, lettered or otherwise, to unscramble each line into a well known spy.
Perhaps this may be a way of displaying a code for entry of information into forms etc. but then again, maybe not ;o)
This is just a css styled unordered list and will degrade back to this for text only browsers.
