A little background first: Netscape caches images to lower page access time. This works great for pages with lots of static images, but when images change frequently the caching breaks (since there's no coherence) and you get stale images. This is common with news services such as the News And Observer Times (NandO) which use the same filenames for different images posted during the day (e.g. topstory.jpg, nationtop.jpg, or whatever.)
Frequently I look at the NandO headline page to find a top story image that's inconsistent with the text. But tonight I think I saw the funniest one ever...
Get ready...
I think that just about sums it up. I know you want to see some anti-Windows95 propaganda from Apple, so here ya go.
The appearance of the beautifully ironic Microsoft image finally motivated me to make this page. Here are some other surreal NandO top story pages for your perusal. Hit or miss, I guess, but some are pretty funny.

No stupid steel ladder-wielding painters were killed in the making of this page... they recovered.
