Re "The Water Is Bent!," water has a high enough viscosity that, when the stream was "lifted" toward the dog, viscous forces overcame gravity to form the U-shaped stream. Think of it as like dipping thick molasses. The effect was momentary, because gravity would have quickly reasserted its predominance. The photo just happened to be snapped at just the right moment to create a great shot.

Many thanks for directing me to CCFinder!

BTW, 'Google' or other search engines will do the same job, without PAYING SOME CONMAN for the privilege of doing the same search for you.

You'd be surprised, nay HORRIFIED at the license fees for simple fonts already on your computer, to use them in any way beyond 'at home' use.

One wrong font or graphic gets into a public advertisement, or game, or whatever, and the million dollar use fee versus ten million dollar lawsuit equation kicks right in, just as soon as some copyright troll spots it. And they're ALWAYS looking.

To do this without scamware for morons, add 'creative commons license' to your favorite image search. This will narrow the search down to documents containing that phrase. Then go to the web site and skim it for license information. As a minimum, you will immediately find several search engines with a filter for 'creative commons' licensure, or contain nothing but.

If you dont want your phots or graphics stolen, watermark them or dont put them online. Simple as that.

This article sounds like something the politicians came up with.
