DICKENSIAN

In what is becoming rapidly a truncated, shortcut world, it's a pleasure to see someone making URLs longer and more enjoyable, rather than trimming them down, tinyurl-style. Over at dickensurl.com, you can turn that boring weblink into a piece of art. For instance, www.furioushorses.com becomes:

http://dickensurl.com/9b9e/Mrs_Varden_was_a_lady_of_what_is_commonly_
called_an_uncertain_temper__a_phrase_which_being_interpreted_signifies_a_

temper_tolerably_certain_to_make_everybody_more_or_less_uncomfortable

Pure genius.
