I clicked on the "hebrew word for science" to see what kind of anti-semitic bull crap was being posted. Luckily it was just some spam...lots of freaking spam!

Dude ... DO NOT click on this stuff.

a) Why give these internet mobsters any further motivation by clicking on their links. They are getting financial gain out of doing this ... you are helping.

b) You open yourself up to potential attacks via virus, worms, spam, adware, etc.

That's funny. I clicked on (NOTE: I opened and did not click on any of the hypers that were presented) the one about "Words that rhyme with carbon" hoping to be the first to put "bourbon"....kinda rhymes

Cool. It is/was worth the post though for others.

... clicking on a link from this forum potentially lets the "bad guys" know that their efforts of spamming the forum is "worth it". The capable hacker can easily see from which IP address(es) the click through originated. This is akin to waving a big virtual flag that says "yes we are here and active and will click on your links" ... which in turn opens the forum up to even more aggressive tactics (afterall .. someone from here clicked through to begin with.. so it is worth the hackers efforts to try more).

PS - I have a mac too .. OS X rocks.
