And, yes, if one were to click on the photograph, as opposed to the text link below, one would be surprised by a brief burst of Tarzannish yodelling. While Dylan's cheerful defense is a bit beyond the expectations of good internet citizenship, it honestly hadn't occurred to me that a brief but startling yelp was grounds for a warning; an endlessly cycling MIDI theme, sure, but not a once-off. Then, I didn't think the DEBS short was unsafe for work, either. —One learns something new just about every day, if one does it right.
