Notice it was submitted by “thousands of Dopers.” Hal’s sheep-orker…er, cow-orker should be proud. I think this is the first non-Doper started thread to make Threadspotting.

**Top Five Schemes Hal Briston Hatched To Revenge Himself on His Co-Worker Who Started This Sheep-Baa-shing in the First Place.**

1. “Accidentally” turns on portable electromagnet by co-worker’s hard drive.

2. Hides fresh raw meat in cavity behind co-worker’s hard drive and waits for the rot to set in.

3. Keys boss’s car. Sends damning mass e-mail bragging about keyed car through company e-mail account the first opportunity co-worker’s computer is left unattended.

4. Coworker mysteriously begins receiving mail order bride catalogues in company mailroom.

… and the number one plan hatched to revenge himself on worker…

For curiosity, I put “sexy sheep” into Google images.

[This, unsurprisingly, was number one](http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/unbranded/i/unbranded-inflatable-sheep.jpg).

[Number two](http://www.classicengland.net/wedding/images/henparty2.gif).

[Number three](http://www.klotz.org/SCA/sheep/bellringers/ducki1.jpg) (?).

What’s really, really odd is your second-to-last link. While I can see that it should lead to:

[http://www.freewebs.com/sheepeggs/untitled.jpg](http://www.freewebs.com/sheepeggs/untitled.jpg)

It kept leading me to another post in this thread. Finally, I manually typed the address in, saw the page, clicked the link again, and it works fine.

Did this happen for anyone else?

Yes, me too.

Most likely explanation: many web site operators don’t like it when other sites link to their images without permission, so they program their server to detect such ‘abuse’ by looking at the “referer” header sent by your browser, which tells where the link is coming from. If the referer is not their own site, they do not display the image, but instead send back something else – usually, either an image containing a text like “don’t steal bandwidth please” or, in the case of a slightly less professional webmaster, some really ugly pornography.

In this case, they apparently decided to do something a little more original, and simply send back a redirect to the referer address – which, in this case, is of course the very thread you are posting from.

When you manually type (or copy-and-paste) the URL into your browser, there is no ‘referer’ header, so the web server can’t tell if you are following a link from another site, so they just give you the picture.

**Sheepishly Devoted To You**  
apologies to fans of **Grease** and Olivia Newton-John

Guess mine is not the fur-st heart broken,  
my mouth is not the fur-st to bleat  
I’m not the fur-st to know,  
there’s just no gettin’ you off-a me

**Hal** , oh – I’m just a wool who’s willing to laze around  
and wait for you  
But human can’t you see, there’s nothin’ else  
for sheep to do  
I’m sheepishly devoted to you!

But now there’s no field to hide,  
since you rammed my fleece aside I’m not in my head,  
sheepishly devoted to you  
sheepishly devoted to you,  
sheepishly devoted to you!

My horns are saying “Wool, forget him”,  
My chops are saying, “Don’t let go”  
**Hal** on my end, that’s what I intend to do  
I’m sheepishly devoted to you

But now there’s no field to hide,  
since you rammed my fleece aside I’m not in my head,  
sheepishly devoted to you  
sheepishly devoted to you,  
sheepishly devoted to you!
