Baidu's spiders. They are very aggressive.

Don't feed the octopus kids. Or... in this case spiders... I get those two confused sometimes...

Baidu has roughly 55-60% (http://gs.statcounter.com/#search_engine-CN-monthly-200902-201003) of the search engine market share in China. They also own a Chinese wiki that's meant to compete against wikipedia (which was banned in mainland China for a long time for refusing to kowtow to the government). As you can imagine, the Baidu wiki is self censored and full of nonsense.

They print them probably because the print-view has less formatting, and just the same content. It's more efficient and more server-friendly.

Situations like those make me feel very alone... and surrounded. At the same time.
