This Duck Does not say “Aflac”…

Don’t ask what I was looking for, but in rummaging through some tagged links, I ended up laughing at this duck:

duck

coming from the LOL Diabetes site. LOLCats ain’t nothing compared to one sporting an insulin pump.

Duck it all.

File this one also in the “there is a web niche for everything” department.

Side note- I am stumped on knowing any way to find the original flickr page from a URL for the static URL version? e.g. how do I proper link to the source for the image at farm3.static.flickr.com/2119/2400191078_cf40f117d8.jpg?v=0

UPDATE: Bob Cotter had the obvious solution- Google search on the part of the URL that is the photo id— 2400191078 — –the original photo’s flickr page is http://flickr.com/photos/11469447@N04/2400191078/ — Sounds like a Greasemonkey thingie worth doing.

  1. CogDog,

    I encountered that same issue in your side note a bit ago, but the solution isn’t at the top of my head. I know there’s a way via the flickrapi. I’ll dig through to see if there’s a quicker way.

  2. @Patrick Murray-John: Yeah, I figured there was some way. Would be a nice web tool 😉 I know that it would be something like flickr.com/xxxxx/2400191078 as the first chunk of the static link is the photo id, but need someway to get the “xxxxx” which is the username/id.

    thanks, mon!
