    I'd vote for the dictionary entry, I didn't even notice that
    aspect but it's an entirely reasonable conjecture.
    .
    Oh, and to answer the other question ... muck around in the
    system preferences for the multi-point trackpad to find the original.

    Okay, I got a good look at the writing on her blouse. It says "Better than sheep!"

    Nonsense. With sheep, you never have to worry about child support or alimony

    They don't have kids, either. Not like goats.

    An additional piece of input: Another picture in the same general
    batch [think "3-finger swipe"...] was obviously shot here:
    Google Maps
    visible in google-maps/streetview, which I can set up to run
    in all its scriptified glory now that I've got firefox nicely
    sandboxed off in its own area and running as its own unique UID
    that can't trash MY stuff so I feel mildly more confident in
    temporarily turning on all the bells-n-whistles that this
    stuff wants.
    .
    This is a good learning experience in how to peg locations
    by lat/long in google's database; just a matter of syntax.
    .
    It's funny how these people have been immortalized into parts
    of a widely distributed OS. They must be aware of it, and
    likely signed away every shred of recourse... Were they just
    local folks, I wonder, or random Apple employees [or offspring
    thereof] with cameras and too much time up around Tahoe?
    .

    I wonder if some of those folks are even *aware* they made the funny pages? Eg the Google Street View, which IMHO is a dangerous thing
