                          The popular Andrew Jackson

Sigh.

67 people have linked to my image of [DELETED-Jeff Conaway-DELETED] Andrew
Jackson [1], including two [2] schools [3] (but at least one of them provided
a link back … to the picture!) and I just have to wonder why? Why is this
particular image of Andrew Jackson so popular? Seventy percent of all
searches last month were for the aformentioned picture of Andrew Jackson.

Seventy percent!

I didn't even draw the bloody thing! It's a scan of the US $20 bill!

But it's not like it's that big a problem, only 1% of the total requests to
this site resulted in a request for the Andrew Jackson image (actually,
0.991% if you want to be pedantic about it) so it isn't costing me that much
bandwidth. But still, the tempation to replace it with this [4] is so strong
