In addition, if you click on a link saying "Random cool picture!", first of
all that's safe (no pixel bug in it), and second, if you notice that it's
the same picture as last time, you do a refresh, causing your client to
override its cache, and you see a different picture. Everybody wins.

knife, sting, and tooth, and a long burden. Where shall I find rest?
