Note the #. Now, remove it and everything after it and reload the page.

Why am I being downvoted? Didn't we all just throw shit at gawker for doing the same thing?

EDIT: This fundamentally breaks the web. The # and everything after it are _not_ sent to the server. It relies on javascript and extra-protocol information to get the document, which breaks the idea of a resource having its own name. The # was suppose to denote a section of a resource, not a resource in-and-of itself. I'm sure everyone here knows this, but I had to get it off my chest.
