I thought that not only was I suffering from mild carpal tunnel syndrome...I thought I suddenly developed astigmatism or another eye problem. Closer inspection showed it's just animated GIF file.

Sometime when I'm reading hard and see it out of the corner of my eye I almost swat it away as well. Just thought it different for a while.

Its brilliant, my wife tried to kill it while I was writing, she said "what is it! dun know said I! Then i noticed it was following the same route, a robo insect, I thought! Quite amusing, what next, maybe sexual encounters with a praying mantis, although the little squirt will have a job to bite its head off!

My little girls saw this pic and said "grandfather". And I quickly close the pic but they kept bugging for the "grandfather" pic. When I reopen per their requests, they would burst into giggles. Some kids don't even have basic manners when it comes to respecting other's appearance.
BTW, that's not how my father looks.

Very clever gif image. I just don't feel that a little bug scurrying around repersents SMS very well. Certainly he's not little... and I picture him plonked on a sofa rather than bustling about... hmm, bug maybe yes.
