I made a little search engine for a specific niche.
All the result pages are querystring'd, and I didn't want those indexed by Google when users link to those via other sites, etc. Besides, the site uses JavaScript heavily and is intended for end user interaction, not search engines.
But instead of noindexing those querystring'd result pages, I simply added rel="canonical" to them, pointing to index page.
Now, ALL result pages (whether they are backlinked or not) show the TBPR of the index page!
Looks cool, as all results have the index page's PR! :-)
Don't know if it's a glitch or a feature or whether it lasts or not!
