I guess it's to game the cycle stats, there's no way that anyone sane would ride on them!
There was a photo going around a few years ago of a pub in Truro putting a banner up saying the Wig and Pen is open for business" with some slightly dodgy kerning...
Never quite done that - networking tends to not have that many comments in it. Closest I got was to one difficult link which happened to use clan 666 to refer to the supplier…
