Why is there a tiny "x" on top of the DU menu icon bar?

Is it just me, or does everyone see this? It's up on top, hovering over the Mark and Search buttons.

18. I saw it a while ago, but didn't give it much thought.

It's nested in a 'p' tag, so it doesn't appear to be an accident. Maybe testing something...

21. It's in the source code for the CSS page layout

It's legitimate!

<body bgcolor="#ffffff" leftmargin="10" topmargin="6" marginwidth="10" marginheight="6">
<p align="center" class="smalltext">x</p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

Project "X" is a GO!

22. You were not supposed to bring project X to the attention

of the others. Now you've gone and done it. Report to Gitmo immediately.

BTW, yes - I have the x, too. ;)

25. I thought that it might just be a typo, but I looked at the source...

Edited on Sun Feb-12-06 07:13 PM by I Have A Dream

and it's something that's explicityly being done in the code. :shrug:

Here's the code:

<p align="center" class="smalltext">x</p><table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
