Gotta be a looky likey, surely?

Surely there's nobody else on the planet that looks like Iggy Pop?! :lol:

Deffo him though. Name on the opening credits was a dead give-away.

Have spent a bit of time trawling through guest-star lists and it's terrifying how many people have appeared in the shows. Famke Janssen once played an intergalactic hussy who was genetically engineered to pleasure men. :shock:

This has got to be one of my faves thus far...

The (Peter Green era) Fleetwood Mac song "Rattlesnake Shake" was about how Mick Fleetwood didn't have a shag for two years.

Other notable wanking songs include "Circle of Fingers" by the Pretty Things and "Rosie" by Jackson Browne.

If she could be anything, I'd want her to be exactly that :)

Another new name I had to Google. Yes, nice.

I had to google the name too Mike, though when I saw who it was I 'knew' her. I'm bad with real names. Much better with character names. "Jean Grey from X-Men". "Oh yeah I know her" :)

Moths don't "like" light.

In the wild the only natural light a Moth will have, given that it's nocturnal, is the moon. As the moon is so far away it doesn't move (noticeably) in relation to the moth and therfore the moth uses it as navigation. So for example if it keeps the moon on the left hand side of him at all times, he'll go in a straight line.

When confronted with unnatural light, however, the moth then thinks that that is the moon. However, as the light is obviously a lot closer, if the moth was to keep it on its left hand side, as in the previous scenario, it ends up going round and round in circles, getting closer and closer to the light in a general state of confusion, causing the illusion that they bloody love lights and are attracted to them.

Famke Janssen in GoldenEye = the way I want to die

Youtube link?

I think this is the right link, can't check it properly due to Websense but "Scissor Kill" would be an accurate description methinks.

Has nothing to do with Google.

A lot of sites institute countermeasures to prevent images they host from being incorporated into other sites. They can do this because most web browsers by default will send the address of the page incorporating the image as the referer (that's the spelling used in the specs). The site configures their server to handle a request with an improper referer (i.e. a referer not from that site) differently. Responses for this can range from "403 Forbidden" to "404 Not Found", though crafty sites will respond with the normal "200 OK" status and send a different image than the one requested (e.g. the Tripod graphic for your pic, Chindie).

The last response is by far the most fun one: some sites, knowing that most of the time these come from public messageboards, will have gay porn or goatse or something like that as the substitute image: much hilarity ensues on the messageboard as most viewers see the gay porn etc., while the poster (and anybody who's either recently seen the intended picture and has it in their cache or has a browser that doesn't send referer headers) sees the intended picture.

You've got the wrong end of the stick, I know all of this.

I was whinging about the new Google image search because I don't like it and was having to use it to find a new pic. I wasn't blaming it for the pic not working in the first place.
