Apparently I have cancer. Thanks Internet!

Yes, according to the Internet, I have cancer:

Of course, it should be painfully obvious that this is just not even close to being helpful but really - listing cancer, cardiovascular disease and many other things must either be someone's idea of a joke or protectionism gone mad.

Observe that this isn't BMEzine, Rotten, Portal Of Evil or any other shock site but could quite easily have a much more profound effect than those sites on unsuspecting persons (or those silly enough to trust the internet and its contents).

As I always say, browsers should place a modal dialog in front of users upon start up with the following content:

Welcome to the internet. Those responsible are sorry.
