It comes to something when you hear breaking news by reading the language log :)

javascript:if(document.referrer) document.location = document.referrer;

This one is cool. Obvious, but I never thought of it. It takes you back to a page the current page was linked from (ie. its referrer), so when you've forgotten why you opened a tab (say, because the link was phrased as a witty comment that only makes sense when you've already read the page), you can just go and see.

Comments on surnames, but quite funny.

Whoops! Thank you, edited. I'm sure I had some reason for saying "it is", but I can't remember what.

Whoops again. I didn't check. Did livejournal strip it out?

disable that middle-click behaviour

Hm. Maybe they should remap it to ctrl-alt-l-middle-click? Or have some way of turning things that look like links into links without being intrustive?
