Does it work? ;)

Yes, it works. Unfortunately, the pheromes produce the following effects:

feelings of hate
wild hallucinations
uncontrollable aggression

Heck I can get that for free. LOL.

BTW, that UA is 413 characters long. It sort of makes me glad I designed my DB to accommodate a UA of 512 characters. The longest UA I'd seen before today was a mere 257 characters long.

I don't remember how long the original 2 URLs in the User Agent were, but I think I shortened them significantly when I "examplified" them :)

I found an even longer user agent! It's 571 characters long. I'm going to expamplify the URL which will make it 573 characters long. I know it looks like part of the user agent is duplicated. It is duplicated. That's how it showed up in my logs: The URL, some spam, legitimate user agent, URL again, same spam again. It was all part of one single user agent.
