apparently that url is a hack
(much like their journos, eh?)
it's down to a security weakness in the way the indy creates "friendly" urls for article titles
explanation:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/04/19 ... this_crap/
for example:
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style ... 69573.html

interestingly enough, the same discussion at our place as thrown up all kinds of concerns... it seems some of our sites may or may not be vulnerable to a similar attach
maybe it's better suited to '...geeking' though?
