In fact, it’s about three times more views than my previously “most viewed” picture.Obviously, someone is linking to this picture. I’m curious and would like to see where it’s being used. I don’t mind but hope that it’s being properly tagged and credited per the Flickr agreements. *hint - if it’s you that has my pic. please tag it right!*Oh well, I think it’s just weird. It’s not even a very good picture of this statue.

MYSTERY SOLVED!An update to my previous post

Someone linked to the pictures in a comment on Digg.com (and yes, it’s a “legal” link - thank you!).The post has a pretty funny bunch of comments - especially if you look at the pictures they link to. NSFW WARNING! Not all the pictures are safe for easily-offended types!It all started when someone posted a link to a picture of a public statue that they thought was naughty (it really wasn’t that bad). My “turtle boy” picture was linked in one of the “If you think that’s bad, look at this!” comments.LOL! And hooray for Turtle Boy! His reputation of being a weird statue and great topic of discussion is holding up well in web2.0-world. Worcester wouldn’t be the same without him. We LOVE our Turtle Boy!(Also, thank you to the Digg poster who linked me up. I’m so glad it was a “real person” and not some silly image-stealing robot or something. I hate those!)Click here for more info. about the Turtle Boy
