Returning to the theme of general wtf-ness:

74.125.126.85 - - [07/Feb/2012:07:29:53 -0800] "GET /{directory}/{directory}/{roboted-out directory}/{file.jpg} HTTP/1.1" 200 2714 "{hotlinking page}" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)"

The referring page is a bona fide-- I use the term loosely-- hotlinker. The kind that would take several minutes to load up if you waited for every single hotlinked image to come through.

The jpg lives on a page that hasn't been edited in years and hardly ever gets visited. Its two most recent visits weren't even full-blown humans, just Preview. Leading to the secondary question of how this new hotlinker even found the picture.

The primary question is: Where does it say "Google"? Have they started wearing bing's castoff UAs?
