    There are a lot of links from that page to the BBC, but it is not actually on the the BBC homepage...

    It took some time. I'm sure.

    Wasn't that kinda the plot of the movie Resident Evil? It's been a while since I've seen it, but it sounds familiar for some reason.

    I'm also fairly certain the BBC knows when to use its and it's.

    It was kinda cool in a scary, freaskish sort of way. And that canine head in the picture was enough to keep me from traveling to Cambodia. In addition to practically every other good reason to still stay away from there!

    Oh, I don't! Especially Australia. I don't care what geographers and physicists say, they are walking UPSIDE DOWN, and that's freaky!

    looking for more information on said topic...
    A friend of mine also emailed this to me. I went hunting for more info and came up empty, so I got suspicious. Firstly, yes, the BBC logos and stuff are all on the page. Stealing code is easy to do, same as downloading the appropriate graphics.
    One big clue, other than the use of IP address in place of domain name (incidentally a traceroute leads back to a website called baserape.com, not that I have any desire to findout what's featured THERE), is the .stm.htm file type. There are .stm's, which the BBC uses for all their pages, and .htm which are just HTML files. This is an HTML file.
    I also have to point out that when it was first released there was a picture of some kind of military unit in front of a flag...that didn't look a damn thing like the Cambodian flag. It was Lebanese. The original story talks about the Syrian Army leaving Lebanon (finally).
    The graphic has been altered, and my veterinarian-technician relative informs me that the anatomy is all kinds of wrong for a canine/lupine/feline, even with skin and hair removed. My guess would be it's a picture of Photoshopius Bullcrapius, commonly found on the internet in Spoof pages like this.

    When in doubt, ask your local information professional...
    Why? Two reasons. Because someone has to, and because I can.
