Manatee Cam (I think)

I found this neat thing…a screensaver that shows live images of network surveillance cameras worldwide.

Not working on a Mac at the moment, I have to wait till the Linux version is out…though if I really felt like it I could probably port it. Nah.

Anyway, the search string that they use to find the source images is
http://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:%22jpg/image.jpg%3Fr%3D%22

So, being bored out of my mind at work, as usual, I found what looks like a camera watching a tank full of manatees. At least I think they are manatees. Every now and then some food shows up on the surface of the pool, and sometimes you can catch the reflection of a person walking by the tank. I usually size a window to the picture and let it sit in the corner of my screen, and watch the manatee’s, or what ever they are, drift about.
