 As described here -

 If I visit

 www.example.com/t

 It'll happily redirect me to (something like)

 www.example.com/2002/06/11/taadaa

 And so on.

 (The above assumes date & name permalinks, but similar stuff happens with
 custom permalinks like category/article/ when it'll even pick a random
 category for you.)

 This should really be returning 404s.
