I tried that when it was first linked to on Digg a couple of weeks ago; it seems to be only somewhat accurate. I was shocked when I tried it with my site's address, and it came back as blocked. I tried it again, and it was reported accessible. I dunno what the answer is; I suspect there should be a larger allowance for server response time, considering the signal's effectively circling the globe TWICE.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I cannot accept.
And the wisdom to hide the bodies of all the people I had to kill today because they pissed me off.
