Google Chromium Bug: Huge amount of goats teleported

The comments are priceless.<p><pre><code> I am concerned about the risk of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease being transmitted between teleported goats. At the speed they are being teleported, one can hardly expect the biofilters to be able to keep up with filtering out prions. What precautions have been taken to avoid cross-contamination of goat matter streams?</code></pre>

Is there a hidden pop culture reference here (goats teleporting), or is the humor random?

They don't do bounds checking, so the number of goats teleported can overflow. I noticed when I was at -2,089,949,091 goats teleported.

This comment by mdm@chromium.org makes me think there's a puzzle to be solved here:<p><i>The teleportation rate is actually a linear function of the number of tabs you have open. Each tab has to teleport a certain number of goats to operate, although as dank points out we were able to optimize it during the Linux port and reduce the number of goats required. I have some further optimizations in mind if we'd like to reduce it more to address the issue mentioned in comment #11.</i><p>Without looking at the code, what could that column really be measuring?

If I were a cynical &#60;insert_competitor&#62; fanboy, I would speculate that they just make up humorous bugs so they can pretend to provide customer service.

Developers should know better than to use a GET request for teleportation.

Aww it doesn't work in Chromium 3 :(
