Oolong is the bunny's name and here's the history. Scroll down for links to more of Oolong's feats aside from the famous pancake.

That's because the domain has protection to keep people like you from hotlinking their images and stealing their bandwidth. You could see them because they were in your temp folder cache file on your computer= it finds the file with the same name so that if you are on a site with the same images on every page it doesn't have to load them each time. Eventually it refreshes and you can't see them anymore.

As a webmaster, this is a sensitive issue with me because people leech our bandwidth all the time. When you 'hotlink' an image like that, especially on a very popular and well-trafficked site like this, you can cause a giant spike in that person's bandwidth usage, sometimes crashing the server which isn't set up for massive traffic, and at the very least draining a lot more bandwidth than they are set up to pay for each month. Whether you realize it or not, every page, image, flash, anything on a webpage costs money to go from the host server to your computer. The more bandwidth you use the more it costs. When you hotlink an image like that the original webmaster is getting no benefit, but paying the cost of displaying that image- that's why they put protection on many servers, lots of people probably hotlink those bunny pix.

What you should do is get some webspace somewhere, save the images then upload them to your server space on the web, there are free pix hosters, then link to that. And always credit the original site.

You do not realize the powerful mystic forces you are dealing with here.

HUGH may be watching!

Good post. I have long wondered about the terms you are discussing. Thanks!

Wow, talk about Buzzkill.

Yep, that's what I do now. I learned that lesson the hard way, after I posted a picture of Joe Scarborough here one day, and on the next day found it had been replaced by a picture of Bush as Hitler. Webmaster was a cheeky monkey.

I looked at the website last week. Its a very sweet site. I enjoyed it very much.

It's really part of a tableau: Orion with his shield in front of him facing a charging Taurus with canis major and canis minor behind him. If you see it in real life somewhere where the sky is clear the whole thing makes pretty good sense.

LOL!!

Oh come on...90% of bandwidth is wasted out there! ;-)
