What I noticed is the “vein” seems to move from one pic to the other. Maybe compile several pics and show how the “vein” moves around? THAT would be convincing!

PS I am in good health and have no thoughts of injuring myself. For the record...

Nor I. But I would point out for the record that Akamai has your IP addresses plus maybe a cookie or two in your browser although I don't any cookies from them in mine. Basically when LyinLibs posts those pictures from Facebook, Facebook uses the akamai network to speed up downloading. When anyone access that FR web page their IP address and browser info goes into the Akamai server access logs. If they hit reply on any post in that thread (more specifically on that page of 50 posts that contains the pictures) then their FR name and IP can be associated by looking at the Akamai server logs plus the FR post time. Piece of cake really.

Also for the record, here's a story that I thought was interesting from Bloomberg: The U.S. National Security Agency’s eavesdropping on foreign heads of state will probably hurt Akamai Technologies Inc. (AKAM)’s business in Germany, Chief Executive Officer Tom Leighton said.

Akamai, which helps corporate customers deliver online content faster, is caught up in the growing backlash against American Internet companies, he said.

Allegations that the NSA gained access to e-mails between world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, and their staffs, have raised questions about the data being held and managed by U.S. Internet companies. Akamai operates computer servers across the globe to speed up the distribution and delivery of Web content, which means that data being tracked by the NSA or any other authority most likely passes through its network.

“It’s clearly bad for American companies,” Leighton said yesterday at The Year Ahead: 2014, a two-day conference in Chicago hosted by Bloomberg LP. “It’s particularly bad now in Germany, where it’s really being played up, to whip up anti-American corporate sentiment. We’ll probably lose some business there.”

Ok, so it's bad for American companies. But would it be badder for Akamai than other companies? Why would that be?
