We've probably all experienced the problems of people remotely linking to images on our websites....
Well, this made me laugh...I found it in another newsgroup, but I thought it would be relevant here....
Imagine the scene
Ebayer1 decides to sell a graphics card, and in order to better show the product, he links to some images that he has stored on his own server....
Along comes Ebayer2, who happens to be selling the same graphics card....He checks ebay to see if anyone is selling anything similar, and finds Ebayer1's auction with all those lovely extra images....
So he decides to remotely link to them too....
Naturally, Ebayer1 notices this extra traffic, probably in his referral logs, so he changes the images on his server.....
The resulting page of Ebayer2's auction can be seen here
I especially love the image of the Plasma TV with the caption, "This Plasma TV included free"....

My favorite is the "Please don't taunt the dynamite monkey"
