I like that idea.  Reminds me of the day we discovered
http://www.taliban.org/  There was a Careers page - seriously -
apparently trying to recruit suicide bombers.  One of my coworkers
(thick Russian accent, which makes it a little more amusing) actually
called the number to see if it was real.

"Thank you for calling the National Offices for the Federal Bureau of
Investigation . . ."

 . . . at which point she panicked and hung up.

And of course we all fell about the place laughing ourselves silly.

The question is whether the Bureau would log the referrer URL.

BTW, I think it would be FBI.gov, yes?
