How about that? A Smart Horse!

Edit- Ugh. I'm not as smart as the horse.

Did you link it directly from an email on your AOL account? Because it's telling me to log in when I try and view the image alone.

Download it to your computer, then upload onto photobucket, imageshack, or tinypic.

The problem is, as Jack says, you're linking to a private page which requires logging in. You need to right click the picture, save it on your computer, open an account (like you opened one here) on an image hosting site, upload the picture there, right click the picture to copy its URL and link that URL.

I tried it with Image Shack . . .

OK, right click on the image (since you can see it) and then choose Save As. I'd probably save it to the desktop if I were you, since it makes things easier.

Once this is done, go to this site (http://tinypic.com/), click the "choose file" button, and double click on the image. Then click the big green "Upload Now" button.

A page will load with several yellow boxes with text in them containing the URL of the image. click the second one down (the one with the tags), then hit the "ctrl" and "c" keys to copy the text.

Open up a reply window in this thread, and hit "ctrl" and "v" to paste the text. Then submit the post.

Wow. There's an awful lot of tension riding on this joke now. It'd better be a good one...


Houhynyms! Did nobody else get that? I feel so alone...

It's obviously the Houyhnhnms. I guess we all owe Jonathan Swift an apology for putting Gulliver's Travels in the fiction section. :smalltongue:

That you should never post emails in a way that lets evil spambots find them. The safer way would be:

rich-at-giantitp-dot-com

Or something similar.

This is the last time I try an image thread.

It's an image of a two legged horse running around like a chicken. It's a joke on the "smart car" that we'll be driving.

Ooh ooh wait is this it? I think this might be what you're talking about:

Could you tell us the name of the species or what website the picture was from? I've been googling around for "prehistoric intelligent horses" but found nothing.

...or is this just a big joke that I'm not getting?

Oh, I dunno. I think this thread is about a thousand times funnier than the original joke.

...You know it's photoshopped, right? It's a little blurry where the front legs would normally be.

EDIT: Actually, I kinda agree with Rustkarn :smallbiggrin:

And here I was thinking that the OP was just doing it to josh our chains about some kind of mythical photo that was so funny and really, our antics were much funnier than anything that could've been produced. And that was the joke.

or something. /psyayay...

I know about those bots. I coded a bot that does something similar. I made it mainly to see if I could, and it just crawled my sites.

Anyway, it's just an address that I use for spam and whatnot. I don't even open most of the emails in its inbox... and I was going to remove the link after I got the email.

Still.

@Yilduz: Okay, just dropping some advice.
I think I can say with certainty that a mod will lock this thread soon.
Well, I guess I can finally answer the OP: No, I have never heard of nor seen this horse.

I've seen pictures and information about other horses (and goats, and, I think, 1 or 2 dogs) which were born without front legs (they learnt how to walk on just their hind legs somehow).

That's no liar paradox - by stating 'incorrect' instead of 'a lie' he's given plenty of wriggle room. It's grammatically incorrect.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure the statement could be correctly incorrect.

And that, dear playgrounders, goes to show one thing:

I am always right. Without exception.

Nope. In fact, you are horribly, horribly wrong for a number of things, like rocket surgery or fighting a losing battle in Southern Nicaragua.

You're right, Rhawin's statement was incorrect.

To the first: hey, that rocket couldn't be saved, okay? I did all I could! (smashes fist against instruments table dramatically.)

To the second: It accomplished my secret second objective, which was to get in contact with the reptillians. Also set up the faking of Watergate. And my death.
