Nice.  Pretty much any site is a candidate, as long as you are nice to
it.
You could, for instance, hit all dmoz URLs.  Or you could extract a set
of links from Yahoo.  Or you could try finding that small and large set
of URLs that Google provided a while ago for their Google Challenge.

Yes, I hear some places in central Europe having temperatures of 36-38
C.  Hot!
We are not that lucky in NYC this year :(  Lots of rain and cloudy
weather, which is atypical.

I'd imagine one would want to use it in the PUSH mode (e.g. the crawler
fetches a web page and adds it to the searchable index).
How does PULL mode work?  I've never heard of web crawlers being used
in the PULL mode.  What exactly does that mean, could you please
describe it?

Thanks,
Otis
