Another off topic comment. This one's about the graphics on your website.

* What's the significance of 565, which appears in at least two places in the header?
* What does the eensy weensy print above the "frozen tropics" title say?

- Curious minds want to know!

565 is the template that I use (I modified mine a bit). Those are graphic files, not text I've types in to be mysterious. So, sorry, but they don't mean anything deep (to me at least).
