   * The top ten tags that did not make it into netscape.  These tags
     were posted to comp.infosystems.www.misc by Laura Lemay
     (lemay&#64;netcom.com).  Much thanks to her for the humor.
    <wired>...</wired>
          Renders the enclosed text in a suitably ugly font/color
          combination.  If no default has been set up by the user, this
          is the default font, with red text on a yellow background.

    <roach>...</roach>
          When selected, the enclosed text runs and hides under the
          nearest window.  OR, giggles a lot and demands nachos,
          depending on your definition of "roach." (the formal
          definition, of course, to be determined by the Official
          Honorary Internet Standards Committee For Moving Really
          Slowly.)

    <kill_sgml>
          Should anyone foolish enough to think that HTML is still SGML
          and try and run a netscape-html document through an SGML
          editor, processor, or other tool, this tag causes an
          immediate core dump, erases anything on your disk with "DTD"
          in the name, and emails a randomly-selected insult to Tim
          Pierce.

          Emacs-w3 just inserts a rude comment.

    <pinhead>
          Inserts "zippyisms" into the enclosed text.  Perfect for
          those professional documents.  This is sure to be a favorite
          of mine!

    <secret>...</secret>
          In order to read the enclosed text, you have to have secret
          spy decoder glasses (available direct from Mcom for a
          reasonable fee).  You can also read it by holding your
          computer in front of a full moon during the autumn solstice.

          This displays the text using rot13 encoding.  The rotation
          can be modified with the 'LEVEL' attribute on the opening tag.

    <hype>
          Causes Marc Andreesen to magically appear and grant you an
          interview (whether you want one or not).  Please use this tag
          sparingly.

    <peek>....</peek>
    <poke>...</poke>
          So you want more control over screen layout in HTML?  Well,
          here ya go.

          Actually, <peek> could almost be considered useful.  The
          VARIABLE attribute can be used to insert the value of an
          emacs variable into the current document.  Things like
          'Welcome to my page, <peek variable=user-mail-address>' can
          be useful in freaking people out.

    <yogsothoth>
          Summons the elder gods to suck away your immortal soul.  Or
          Bill Gates, if the elder gods are busy.  Unpredictable (but
          amusing) results occur when the <YOGSOTHOTH> and <HYPE> tags
          are used in close proximity.

    <blink>...</blink>
          Causes the enclosed text to .... ooops that one made it in.
