Make your browser Twirly!!!
This is a little trick I found on the internet. Go to a website and then once it's loaded, enter the following code into your address bar and press enter.
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',50); void(0);
You can replace the "img" with any other HTML object.

Here's "cooler" (well, different anyway):
cange the r=1 to r=10 and the Math.cos to Math.tan

A bit slow; too many images (at least in my browser). But worked great on THIS page, with all the little avatars swirling around.

Seriously, this may be the closest thing to a legitimate application of javascript I have ever seen.
Patience is a virtue of the weak for it makes them stand still long enough for the strong to crush them with ease.

Press the "reload" button, in Safari at least.

Sorry, on my browser, the code window had its own scrollbar.
