Someone's going to get a stern talking-to. Or a beer.

Simple. It's only tossing the extra stuff into the bit bucket. You can add anything you like. Take any URL, add a / slash, then a ? question mark, then whatever text you like, then an = equals sign, then either true or false - your pick. When you call the URL the extra stiff is simply discarded, unless, of course, you've got some programming at the other end to receive that value.

1. Take an ordinary CNN url: http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/0 … index.html
2. Remove the "index.html" at the end.
3. Add a question mark and any number of name=value pairs separated by ampersands (e.g., ?drink=pruno&just-die-already=please).
4. Behold! http://www.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Music/0 … ady=please
Edit: oops, whosasailorthen was too quick for me.
