GIF

GIF ... you know, the "bitmap image format [...] introduced by CompuServe in 1987 [that] has [...] come into widespread usage on the World Wide Web due to its wide support and portability."

Remember The Hampster Dance? This Internet meme has, according to Wikipedia, "four simple animated GIFs". And an awesome soundtrack. I remember this from back in the day.

I thought of this when I was reading some of the items Jill shared on Reader, in particular, a post that linked to gifbin.com. [Note: Be forewarned if you choose to visit the site -- the few clicks I did from that post had some NSFW advertisements. For that reason, I'm linking to the image URL and not the page with it and all the comments...]

Something Educational:

And the link to one of the original Hubble/NASA photos.

And, a funny soccer moment:


And, for good measure, a sweet chair trick:


Anyway...
