Blownbulb
i’m sure you’ve all been marvelling at the tasteful christmas decorations, which have been adorning bilge - sook my stupid brain! over the past week or so.  in fact most of you probably binned your own ‘dec’s, tuned into this site and just made your computer monitor the focus of festive cheer over the chrimbo period - such is the magnificence of my scintillating site!

i’ve just noticed something spooky tho;  the image with the christmas lights is a two frame animated gif.  on the first frame all the lights are off and on the second frame all the lights are on.  in other words it is only possible for the image to display the lights either “all on” or “all off”.  yet i’ve noticed that, quite often when i load up bilge - sook my stupid brain! some of the lights flash on, whilst others don’t.  so whaddya reckon to that then? - it seems that even virtual christmas lightbulbs occasionally blow!

[to those of you who thought i'd designed an incredibly sophisticated graphic using randomness to affect which lights came on and off, i apologise for the disappointment this news must cause you]
