Bill, I'm definitely not making an assertion that live PR is Google's internal PR. Still, If you look at the url I just posted, it has 8bb92c8b3 as one of the query strings which is a security measure to make it difficult for people to access Google's database. Try looking up another domain with that URL and you'll find it won't work.

That hash was cracked long time ago by reverse engineering the Google toolbar from what I heard. I'm not sure the script I used to generate that url is even legal.
