I am a little boggled. Ok, more than a little.

I was going through the LJ image reaper this evening as i wound down for sleep, and i came across this post(For those of you who are unaware of what the image reaper is - it's a script that pulls the last 250 images posted in LJ, anywhere. A refresh of the page gives you the next newest 250, another

Google Translator makes that post
"stolen, but how wonderful =)
definitely, beautiful picture"

Interesting. Because when I look at that post? I get my geek keyboard icon, not your handprint one. I suspect a script is involved somewhere that pulls from your userpics, but I'm still testing the theory.

[qsara]

That would make sense, I Google translated that whole page and it looks like the stuff they're saying fits into that. I'm not getting a picture when I look though :(

[saskya]

That is interesting. Very very odd. I don't know how the original poster expected people to see and comment/like the same image if that's the case.

[qsara]

Perhaps it was sarcastic? Damn Russians talking in their crazy language like it's real.

Well, I get my 'Bug Guy' icon (a poor, jumbled version of it), which is pretty goofy, so there must be some script there.

[saskya]

Right, jumbled and corrupted is what i saw too. So very odd. I have no idea what the purpose of a script like that would be.

Yup, I get one of my own icons there. This one specifically. I wonder if it pulls the last icon you used in your journal?

[saskya]

That is the theory that makes the most sense to me so far. Heheh, this is crazy. What the heck is that script supposed to do? The original poster made a comment about the image, how did he expect everyone else to see the same one he was talking about?

The icon that was displayed was of me. I took it at my school last year and editted it in art class. I have a larger size image on my computer if you'd like, but I don't know how those other guys got it.

ok, after re-reading all this crap I realized what happened. It showed something from my own database, so each time someone looks its different. :P

[saskya]

It's really a very odd thing! I am still mildly boggled by it all.
