Re: Fun with avatars
OK. 1000 quatloos to the first person who identifies the problem (but first you have to find what picture(s) has/have the problem).

the one with the windmill- the windsocks are all indicating a decent breeze, but the windmill isn't spinning. I stared at it long enough to be sure, too, those sails are static.

Re: Fun with avatars
I can't even see a flag in that picture. I see the windsocks. Do you even know what flag it is? (like I would suspect you of not knowing -- but I don't know)dhkendall wrote:WEll, it *is*bpmod wrote:Keep looking.dhkendall wrote:Plus, the flag on the left in the windmill pic is out of date

Re: Fun with avatars
I can't even seem to find a picture with a flag or a windmill, as no matter how many times I reload I'm just getting the Statue of Liberty. Have you updated your roster of pictures in the last 12 hours? The first issue I saw was that the Statue of Liberty appears to be holding the torch in the wrong hand, but I don't know why that would be a problem. I'm sure her arms get tired and she has to switch it up every now and then.

Not in the last 12 hours or so. Wait! Maybe I have. I took some pictures (without the problem in question) out of rotation for a while, then put them back in.jeff6286 wrote:I can't even seem to find a picture with a flag or a windmill, as no matter how many times I reload I'm just getting the Statue of Liberty.

Are you sure it's the Statue of Liberty you saw?

It certainly appeared to be, but maybe it's just some weird Canadian version that holds the torch in the other hand, eh?bpmod wrote:Not in the last 12 hours or so. Wait! Maybe I have.

In all fairness, I need to award you the 1000 quatloos, but I just wanted to yank your chain for a bit.jeff6286 wrote:It certainly appeared to be, but maybe it's just some weird Canadian version that holds the torch in the other hand, eh?bpmod wrote:Are you sure it's the Statue of Liberty you saw?

I really wanted to wait and see how long it took before somebody mentioned it, but I am nowhere near that patient, so I put it out there as a challenge.

I was joking- there's something vaguely resembling the Needle, but not in any type of city setting.

Re: Fun with avatars
Well, I thought that the smallest windsock was a flag, and I was making a joke on my vexillological abilities (i.e. "even though it's so far away, I can instantly tell it's out of date!") I probably could, but my eyesight isn't that great (my avatar doesn't wear glasses for show, you know!) and that is probably why I mistook a windsock for a flag at a distance (should have known that if one was a windsock, the rest would be ... )bpmod wrote:I can't even see a flag in that picture.
