redirect people to wikipedia when they try to look at naughty content.
Another possibility is a buggy model in certain browsers (notably IE5,
AFAIR) which incorrectly places the current page you're looking at as the
referer to ANY page you go to next, even if you typed it in, clicked on a
bookmark, etc.
Even on my personal site, I can use my referrers list, look at most of the
'ones and twos', and can see exactly where my visitors have been surfing
just before they typed in my site. This much is obvious, because I've often
turned up at forum posts where one of my visitors has also been commenting
:-)
