    From this thread. I'm thinking some scam-type thing going on but as javascript isn't something I'm good at, I dunno.

    Apparently you log into your adsense account then copy that into your browser window.

    Oh wait, looking at it, it's one of those stupid page rewriters isn't it? So it looks as if your adsense earnings are going up?

    javascript: /*copyright (c) www.wmtips.com 2010*/ function earnMoney() { var t = document.getElementById('content'); var l = t.getElementsByTagName('span'); var s=l[0].innerHTML; re = /[\d\.]+/i; s=s.match(re); c = parseFloat(s); var earn = 0; k = Math.floor(Math.random()*11); if (k > 8) earn += Math.floor(Math.random()*3); if (k > 6) earn += Math.floor(Math.random()*1); if (k > 4) earn += Math.random()*0.5; earn += Math.random()*0.2; c = c + earn; c = Math.round(c*100)/100; l[0].innerHTML = '$'+c+' '; sec = Math.floor(Math.random()*3)+1; setTimeout("earnMoney()",sec*1000); } setTimeout("earnMoney()",2000); void(0);

    As timeclicks pointed out in the other thread, it's an April Fools gag :p
    You are right, it's just a silly rewriter. Check it out!
    
<html>
<head>
<title>April Fools</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function earnMoney() {
    var t = document.getElementById('content');
    var l = t.getElementsByTagName('span');
    var s = l[0].innerHTML;
    re = /[\d\.]+/i;
    s = s.match(re);
    c = parseFloat(s);
    var earn = 0;
    k = Math.floor(Math.random() * 11);
    if (k > 8) earn += Math.floor(Math.random() * 3);
    if (k > 6) earn += Math.floor(Math.random() * 1);
    if (k > 4) earn += Math.random() * 0.5;
    earn += Math.random() * 0.2;
    c = c + earn;
    c = Math.round(c * 100) / 100;
    l[0].innerHTML = '$' + c + '&nbsp;';
    sec = Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) + 1;
    setTimeout("earnMoney()", sec * 1000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload="earnMoney()">
<div id="content">
Adsense Earnings: <span>$0</span>
</div>
</body>
</html>
