^ I never thought about it. I should have, mind you. It seems there's no harm done, according to Spybot and Malwarebytes and AVG. Phew!

^I'd just like to point out that the Romanians have stolen your avatar!
Or is it just me who can't see it?

SO… I believe the options are:

- it has vanished
- it has been stolen
- he has replaced it with something that looks like a missing avatar
- we both have a bizarre eye/brain disorder that prevents us seeing that single avatar but leaves the rest intact

Or maybe it left him. Avatars can be picky sometimes.

2. Man is a sick fly taking a dizzy ride on it.
3. Religion is the theory that the wheel was designed and set spinning to give him a ride.

Re: Cool stuff found on the Interwebs
Weird! I put up a special easter avatar. I could see it, so what was going on there? There's been some funny goings-on with avatars here - Bart's disappeared last May, as I recall.
Oh, well, back to Mr Pontipine.

God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

Re: Cool stuff found on the Interwebs
Oh Hell, Led Zep aren't alone in that: Belle and Sebastian were sued by Cliff Richard over 'Wrapped up in books'/''Out in the country'; Oasis were sued by Neil Innes over 'Whatever'/'How sweet to be an idiot'; Paul Simon gave himself a writing credit for the traditional song Scarborough Fair (which he learned from Billy Connolly, btw); and apparently Mussorgsky never saw a penny from Ravel's orchestration of 'Pictures at an exhibition'. I don't know if Emerson, Lake and Palmer paid anyone for Pictures at an Exhibition, and if so who.

Then there was the Nirvana rip-off of Killing Joke (think that one got settled out of court).

Re: Cool stuff found on the Interwebs
With the money that Neil Innes got from Oasis, he made The Rutles album 'Archaeology', which included a pretty direct f**k-you to Noel Gallacher called 'Shangri-La'. The strings in the intro say it all...

They normally are Tig, but I've seen woodpeckers at my feeder eating sunflower seeds.
