Google Image Game Part I
« on: Jan 5^th, 2004, 7:11pm »

Debuting my favorite game at forums.

Ok Here's a new game that I used to play on one of my favorite message boards a while ago that's pretty fun. Basically here's how it works: A word is posted. Someone then goes out and does a google image search (http://images.google.com) using that word. Then, they post the (weirdest/funnies/strangest/cutest/wackiest/whatever tickles your fancy) picture that they find in the search. Then they can post a new word to continue the chain.

So, I'll start.

Original at kellari.org/other/nerd.jpg but it's huge.

Given this image, let's make the next word, flight

Don't argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and then they beat you up with experience.

I always have a question about this because I never understand the bandwidth thing. If I do this do I use someone else's bandwidth? when does that happen and how does it happen?

Umm, well, yes, technically. Basically, every time someone opens this thread, their web browser goes out and downloads the referenced pictures from the sites they are hosted at, so looking at my first post downloads 24KB of data from my web space. Some hosting sites charge for space used, and others for bytes downloaded.
