Note that this snippet has to be inside the <body> for it to work — it won’t work when included in the <head>. Also, in IE6, it would cause a security warning in IE6 for HTTPS pages.
Do what you want with this code, but please don’t use it. Use the more robust optimized Google Analytics snippet instead.
This snippet breaks the “no globals!” rule, but then again ga.js relies on the global _gaq variable.

Note that this snippet breaks the following 140bytes rules:
_gaq is required to be global for Google Analytics to work correctly
yeah,
@jed +1 on making WTFPL the default. Makes much more sense, IMO.
okay, i changed it. i just want to make sure it's permissive more than anything. not too thrilled putting profanity in each entry... can we link to the license instead?
The WTFPL explicitly allows changing + renaming it:

0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.
Either way, just a link would be fine.
would you mind drafting something generic with name/url placeholders that we can include?
i also think you could save bytes and make this more useful by passing the UA-XXXXX-X id as a parameter.
hmmm, it really needs to be assignable. how about:
