hhaha, that reminds me of a friend who replaced all jpgs without his
site server aliases with the famous image on goatse (if you dont know
what goatse is, go here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx and DO
NOT google).

he was a good chap and changed it to a 'DO NOT LINK TO MY IMAGES'
image about 15 mins before... one or two sites had background images
linking to his files...
