 		[NEW/HOAX?] - UVA website
I caught this on Immersion Unlimited.

Okay, maybe "NEW" wasn't appropriate because UVA is a real university, apparently. But visit their website:

http://www.science.uva.nl/ai/home.cfm

Click "Studieprogramma."

Be confused as hell.

EDIT: heh, I mean http://www.science.uva.nl/ai/home.cfm - the AI section is what is important after all

EDIT 2: Also note that their counter WORKS PROPERLY, unlike many other hoaxes

That the countdown would appear on a real University's website in multiple places in the artificial intelligence section?

 		i can't see a countdown nor the link you suggested...

edit: not being one for conspiracies, i can't see anything intriguing about 'karel gaemers' either.

 		What Mos means is that if you go to the link he corrected, you have to click "Studieprogramma" in the leftside menu, and you get...

... well, scared...

This is the official University of Amsterdam website, so something freaky is going on. The link is supposed to direct you to a year's lecture schedule (of the Artificial Intelligence section of the Science Faculty), but it apparently has been hijacked by... well, the same thing that hijacked ilovebees.com

I know a few people that attend UvA, and even two or three that study A.I./Science, but I can't get a hold of them atm. I'm curious if this is game-related or just a prank by someone capable of accessing the AI website and wanted to play a little joke...

[EDIT] The original find was done by someone named Spasss on the Immersion Unlimited forums

 		[WHOIS] UVA
To Millie: Um, trout. There's another thread devoted to the fridge owl website. Unless there's some other information that leads you to Amsterdam in the fridge owl website?

UVA is legit. Whois data follows:

So what is SPDR doing on a legit website?

1) Someone at uva.nl is having a little fun.
2) The PM's have a deal with uva.nl.

Please note that a large number of pages on www.science.uva.nl/ai/ seem to have been created on Wednesday, 14 July, 2004. Some refer to "Rooster", a word not found in Dutch. Hmmm....

 		i had the same comments as above - it's odd that the extra graphic is included in the uva site. also, the comments are suddenly in english and not dutch...
and according to babelfish, 'rooster' translates as 'grating'. ?
