[tinyURL randomiser - explained]

I was browsing around the other day, when I read (I forget where) that the sequence of characters used in the shortened address from tinyurl.com never exceeds four characters.

Hold on, I should probably explain what tinyurl is for people at the back of the class.

Tinyurl.com is a free service for people who want to give a website address to other people, but the website address is really long and a complete arse to remember and/or use.
Tinyurl takes this address and gives you a nice short one like "http://tinyurl.com/ss2p".

Now, back to the story.
I thought a bit about this, and then realised that if someone thought something was interesting enough to use tinyurl to send an address to a friend, we might find it interesting too.
So I created the tinyURL randomiser, which will randomly find a tinyURL linked page and show it to you.
Now not all of the content is interesting, some of it is definately NSFW and there appears to be an inordinately large number of sites linked to do with unicycling (which makes me wonder if I'm missing out on something) - but its all good fun, and will keep you entertained for seconds, if not minutes.

Have fun!
