An quest of Brobdingnagian proportions

rm' · 21st January 2002, 23:10

Ok, here's the rules. The object of this game is to use your l33t net skills to find something on the internet the fastest, and post the results here. You must provide a URL link to a page/document/picture that shows the answer to the question (i.e. you can't just say the answer). The first person to reply to a question gets to choose the next thing to find. Kind of like an internet scavenger hunt. So let's start off.

Find a picture of a dog in pants.

You're all not limited to images, btw. I say that because finding an image of Paul Reiser riding a bicycle is as easy as typing in "Paul Reiser Biycicle" in google's image search, but finding, say, a research paper on the effects of harmonic interference on sheet metal takes a bit more work.

jarsonic · 22nd January 2002, 15:04
