We’ll admit, we’re suckers for titillating Internet advertisements: Free iPods, hitting monkeys, jiggling banners — we fall for all of them (but you don’t even know how many free things we’ve won!).

Or, uh, so it would seem.
Y’see, the ads dramatically change week by week. Computer programmer Jeff Atwood has been chronicling the changes on his blog Coding Horror, and as you’ll see, we’re not really sure what the hell this game is about anymore.
