"Yesterday's news"?

  That's a good guess, but no, that wasn't it. I guess I was just really lucky that the right thing popped into my head :) SPOILER: .--. .. -. --- -.-. -.-. .... .. --- ... -. --- ... .

      I find your choice of link interesting. Presumably you didn't write it by hand as you'd use duckgo.com then I suspect. So, why not provide the terminal page URL instead of this forwarding page? http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.--.%20..%20-.%20---%20-.-.%20-.-.%20....%20..%20---%20...%20-.%20---%20.. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=.--.%20..%20-.%20---%20.... It's particularly curious because the page you give is an automated redirect and you'd have to stop the page loading to copy the link. Just curious.

        I wanted to show off duckduckgo's bang syntax. I set it as my default search engine in Chrome, and it first I kept going to Google manually for specific searches where duckduckgo isn't good enough, yet. But after I learned that "!g <search>" would do that for me with less hassle, I grew much happier with duckduckgo. By the way, a prefix of !hn defers to searchyc.com. There's a list at http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html http://duckduckgo.com/bang.html

          I was aware of the bang syntax - just if you manually wrote out the URL I expected you to use "dukgo.com/?q=!wa ..-.." or whatever rather than a long handed version. Personally I use "wa" as a search keyword and then enter "wa ..-.." into my address bar.

            I used copy-and-paste, and had to be quite nimble, to be faster than the re-direct.

              Hit escape/stop and take your time.
