hehe, that's not a bug ;)

It's a short description of the function - not so much a long winded one.
Mostly I think it's a #winner... especially for new users.  But it's also a
little distracting.  However most pygame functions use fairly self
descriptive variable names.  Probably good to take it out, and perhaps add a
title attribute to the link (which would give the description on hover over
the link).
