The object of this game is to find pictures which include the number 2008 but where it is not a reference to the year 2008.
Difficult to prove. Is e.g. the Shimano XT2008 bike a reference to the year or not?
Could be tough. I went through 6 pages of Google images and found nothing that wasn't year related.
Both points which made me think this would be a suitably challenging game. ;)
Ok...it's hard to read, but that DOES say 22008 at the top of the price tag.

Look carefully - "12 008" is the model number of the flash, and is listed on the box
Another miracle. Well done Bob the U.
This thread will make history yet.

Just in case you were wondering "What in the FSM's wide world IS that?"...well, I'll tell you. It is a pair of LEGO scuba flippers (yes, they really do exist). Part number 32008.
Are they embedded in ecstacy tablets?

I want Lego SCUBA flippers! I want- I want. Why don't I have any Lego SCUBA flippers. Oh aren't they just the cutest things.
Are my eyes that bad? I can't see any 2008 in Goat's mountain. Or are there 2008 hidden trolls or something?
it is way more cryptic than that! i have gone all Swato on you.
there will be a small prize for the person to get the 2008 reference
It's the Langfoss waterfall with a drop of 2008 feet.
Why am I worried what the prize might be? A Sherlock Holmes/Moriarty trip along the ledge at the top perhaps?
Bah! Two many clever clogs.
If Goat covets the Swatopluk crypticness prize he'll need to remember to rename his jpegs.
I looked at the jpeg name but failed to make appropriate use of it..... which is probably more stupid than not having thought of it at all. :cry:
If "2008" contained in the image in "code" then, I submit the following:

Hint: "mm" is a significant part of "2008".

I suppose it would be naive to ask about the cash alternative? Just send the fags (English meaning).

If you want to believe it's a coincidence rather than me having key-loggers on all your machines that's fine by me. All's fair in love, war, and Toadfish competitions.

Goatie, I want the poster from To the Manor Born.
I used to love that program(me). Hmmm..must investigate BBC availabilities on Netflix.
They did a Christmas special this year. It was disappointing.
A friend of mine got the entire Faulty Towers series for Christmas. Can't wait to borrow it.

only had one but as beagle seems less than impressed by my encyclopedic (ok wikipedic!) knowledge of beagles i could let you have it for a few grand!
You're grand, you're grand, you're grand!! :-*
(Heh. There ya go!)
