I cheated a little, where the first URL in the dropdown list would be inaccessible to someone other than me, I picked the second... or third... and so on.

If they all jumped off a cliff would you follow? From tbray.org:

nidhogg:~$ history|awk '{a[$2]++} END{for(i in a){printf "%5d\t%s \n",a[i],i}}'|sort -rn|head
   42	cd
   34	ls
   10	grep
    8	make
    5	svn
    5	./ftqviz.py
    4	p9
    4	./ldapstaff
    4	export
    4	du

Hmm, cd, ls, grep, make, then yesterday I was fiddling with svn for a while, trying to get hold of the source for something interesting. The pything was analysing some numbers from a system performance utility, p9 invokes the rc shell of plan9ports. Then right down at number 8 we get to an LDAP wrapper script I use for work-related porpoises!

Indirectly, via Kevin Marks, irresistable!

1. The first article title on the Wikipedia Random Articles page is the name of your band.
2. The last four words of the very last quotation on the Random Quotations page is the title of your album.
3. The third picture in Flickr's Interesting Photos From The Last 7 Days will be your album cover.
4. Use your graphics programme of choice to throw them together, and post the result.

I got 1, 2, 3, 4 resulting in:

Munroethuruth's "Of Whom are Absent"

Interestingly, the meme takes no account of any copyright present in the photographs from Flickr, and as the one I found says "All rights reserved" all I feel comfortable with doing is presenting the image as is.
