On an unrelated note... HOW THE FUCK IS THIS POSSIBLE? Am I crazy, or do these two totally different Twitter accounts have the exact same name and URL?!

@zebratron2084

twitter.com/RIDICULOUSCAKE goes to the same place as twitter.com/ridiculouscake; twitter.com/RlDlCULOUSCAKE is actually using lowercase Ls for the Is. Cut and paste the URLs into something that's actually using a font that distinguishes between l and I (and 1 and | and...) and it becomes obvious.

Incidentally this is an elementary phishing technique, and is why you should NEVER click on a link in an email to anything you value your account and anything connected to it; there are a LOT of Unicode characters that look indistinguishable from ones in the ISO LATIN-8 space we Americans typically expect to see URLs in.
