I have also been getting a lot of unwanted entries in my web logs from 
Germany for a while.  Seeing the HTTP requests involved, it appears that 
the Russian and Eastern European bad guys are renting (or stealing?)

Yes, I saw your photos the other day and while I liked the idea, I long

StorageWorks cabinets while in bed.
