I'm glad you all seem to think I'm not insane. At least, not for wanting to do this myself. Good idea about the pictures and magnet.
However, this site is making me rethink the whole idea: [link]

Compassionately intolerant
Megan, whenever I feel daunted by a task like the one pictured on that site, I remind myself that 'finding a needle in a haystack isn't hard, if you are willing to look one straw at a time.'
It might seem a bore, or overwhelming, but the outcome seems worth it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Also easier if you have a magnet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have not, but will now! Thanks, Scola!

Once you do, you really need to download Jam in the Band.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I like how one of the comments is "I'll be in my bunk."

For ita: Handy reverse image search engine
Lets you take an image and search the web for other sites that have the same image. Useful to find larger/better copies of an image, etc.
I have this installed as a Firefox add-n. Make sez:
The same helpful commenter who gave me a hand on this morning's mystery dentist office flyer post also hipped me to the wonder that is TinEye, a Heaven-sent search engine that lets you upload or link to an image, and then finds other instances of the same image, or cropped or resized versions of it, all over the web. Sort of like Google's Similar Images, but with the ability to directly upload your query image. Next time I have a mystery photo, I'll know where to go.
