Open the LJ cookie ;)

It's in the cookie itself. It depends on your browser how to view the
cookies. Normally you don't need to do it, but in this case it's funny
that they placed this text in the cookies.

In Opera, Tools -> Advanced -> Cookies shows the cookies. I don't know how
to do it in other browsers.

Yeah, I've read it as well in ljmastersession. I think it's great!:)
(Yet I had to rewrite all of AVThreader's authorization).

It's actually done on purpose, and will change. According to the maintenance journal, by putting poetry in the cookies, they can copyright them, and then potentially prosecute folks that steal them for copyright infringment.

Aha, the cunningness!
