I've commited the change to the repository; the image URL is now

What's happening there is fark's server checking the referrer field:


$ wget http://img.fark.com/images/2002/links/fark.gif                                              
--13:30:51--  http://img.fark.com/images/2002/links/fark.gif
           => `fark.gif'
