 * While looking at my logfiles, i found out, that some guys tried to hijack my 
   domain by adding some odd querystring behind my permalinks. for example
 * `http://wordpress.org/support/?adasd` will show the same post than without the
   query `?adasd`.
 * I assume, that this are no attempts of capturing content from my blog :). One
   possible reson could be a social linking strategy aiming on multiple content 
   on my site.
 * The following piece of code before the regular header_template comes along with
   a very hot needle but provides a correct 404 Error.
 * `$TestMe = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 
    if(strpos($TestMe, "?")){ header("HTTP/
   1.0 404 Not Found"); include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/404.php'); exit(); }
 * Now urls of the stylesheets and grafics still can be treated the same way. Has
   anyone got an idea for a cute .htaccess solution?
 * thnx
 * greetings from bavaria
