Have you ever wondered how insects tell themselves apart? We can barely see a difference between one praying mantis to the next, yet we know that somehow, they manage to determine who’s who.
It’s just like old white guys in government. Look at the picture at the top, and tell me how the heck we can tell those Senators apart. If it weren’t for the different color ties, those guys be indistinguishable.
There is one thing I must congratulate Congress on. The webpage the picture’s from is proof positive that Congress does have some self-control on the budget, as they clearly have not hired anyone to update the page design since the mid-90’s. A few things my co-workers and I noticed:
- There’s still a link to Netscape Navigator
- Site is “optimized” for IE 4 and Navigator 4
- The senator pic uses imagemaps
- A 400KB 2500px wide pic is loaded to display a 421px wide pic
Netscape Now! I think I had that icon on my first homepage I made back in ’98! 🙂 I tried it, but it’s a broken link. I guess it’s morphed into Firefox now…
Unbelivably, they just came out with Netscape 9! Gotta try it out!
Emptyset.com is still up! Wow! And this is the fifth sentence in a row ending in an exclamation point!
