- Is something going on at the top left of http://www.theblackhelix.com? Moving your mouse over the white dot (perhaps two pixels long) changes the cursor. What's this? An error in the source, potentially: there's a literal apostrophe character in the page, which causes your mouse to change to its normal selection cursor. --Morbus Iff
