Title: OT: Bambi and Thumper do exist!!!
Post by: dolphin on December 02, 2006, 11:17:26 AM
The recent winter storm certainly brings one back to reality! It produced such devastation and the last I heard is responsible for 9 deaths. I am NOT a fan of winter; although I know that it is a necessary evil in mother nature's scheme of keeping the balance .

This is why she is called MOTHER nature!!! biggrin.gif

IAWMb! smile.gif

Any way to confirm that it's not a cut and paste photo?

It was wierd how I got to see it. First a message saying my browser might not support viewing the image, and listing browsers for OSX and Windows. Yeah, like those are the only two operating systems on the planet! rolleyes.gif

Cute pic.

Question, why does it open in a small window, thus resizing my browser and all other open tabs?

Because 1) your window is larger and 2) you don't have javascript blocked. This allowed the following script to run.
CODE
var imgs = [
new SlideImage('http://web.mac.com/dolphin1399/iWeb/Site/Photos_files/image001.jpg', 800, 543, 'Bambi and Thumper\n')]

I detest 'authors' who decide what size window I have on my screen. rant.gif Just another reason to block javascripts unless I want them to run. Thanks FF and NoScript! thanx.gif

Kimmer, Bill-R ...I have no clue why it did that!

XABD...thank you for the explanation. As I said I had no clue why. That is the first time it has done that...the picture is on my iWeb/.Mac site. It didn't come up as it usually does and I was flabbergasted as to why. huh.gif

OK...everyone...I discovered my mistake. I copied the link incorrectly and that is why it is acting so weird. I deleted the pic or I would fix it. SORRY  for the inconvenience it has caused.

Dolphin, it wasn't a prob - just had me curious.

More Bambi and Thumper pics here, in case you want to check them out and missed Dolphin's original link:

http://www.tanja-askani.de/info/?p=18

This page is from the photographer's own web site - she is an immensely talented wildlife photographer!

I tried a translation of the entire page at http://babelfish.altavista.com/ and from the rather goofy results (typical of any computerized translation) I can gather that the deer was rescued as a fawn when its mother was hit by a car. The rabbit was a wild bunny that began to appear regularly in the garden where the fawn was being raised - they became inseparable friends.

OK, all together now...AHHHHHHHH.... wink.gif

I was not a problem really - at first I thought it was something that I did and then I read more posts and saw that it was not just me so I was curious. I have never had a link resize my whole browser before.


Thanks for the explanation!

I don't know what the problem could be, kimmer. Try it from Babelfish directly, after copying the URL from the original page so you can paste it into the requisite space on the Babelfish page. If it doesn't work from that, there must be something else wrong.

Not sure what browser you're using, FF has prefs for allowing scripts to move and/or change a windows size ( I have that disabled ). I also have a pref enabled that resizes a large image to fit my window size ( Advanced->General->Browsing).

I need to check, again, on the status of the extensions I use to see if they are all upgraded to work with FF 2.x. Now where's that To Do list...

The parallel to Thumper and Bambi is even more so when you read the end of the story. Apparently the young deer was ultimately to be moved to a location where it could be readied for living in the wild. The last pictures show the rabbit trying to support the deer's head as it goes under the influence of a sleep drug for transportation.

The close friends will end up separated. tears.gif

tears.gif  A German pal just sent me the condensed translation ... sob.

The story goes on telling how the fawn is being raised in a garden, and the rabbit appears and seems to like the company, so it stays. They become inseparable and the rabbit actually changes its habits to accompany the fawn, such as when the fawn rests after having eaten, the rabbit stays at its side instead of running around in true rabbit-style. During the winter, the rabbit doesn't hide from the coldness but stays at the fawn's side, and in spring it actually builds a nest for the both of them.
The end of the story is the description how the fawn, who by now has become a beautiful doe, has to be reintroduced into the wilderness and how the rabbit says its good-bye before they part.


Now I want to know what happened to Thumper. tears.gif
