The problem is in <http://benl.co.uk/sites/all/modules/copyright/copyright.css>.
The first line is a comment, but it's not using CSS comment syntax.
It's using the type that many other languages, including PHP and
JavaScript, allow but CSS doesn't.

I used Firefox's Web Developer extension's
<http://chrispederick.com/work/webdeveloper/> View CSS feature to find
that.
