Staring into the Void

You know in movies where someone is hiking in dense woods in the mountains, and they suddenly emerge into a clearing and pause briefly and look down, only to realize with horror that they're standing at the edge of a precipice, and the camera pans down to reveal their feet on a crumbling, rocky trail, small stones tumbling out from under their shoes to fall several thousand feet into a yawning void that they've almost stepped out into? Checking my email this morning, still groggy and uncaffeinated, I almost clicked on this link in an email message apparently from my bank. (Note actual URL in the status bar at the bottom.)
