RE: a bad idea (fwd)

Once upon a time Erik Aronesty shaped the electrons to say...

Not that I see this as something super desirablem but if you want to do it
I suggest:

<IMG SRC="x" SRC="y" SRC="n-1" "SRC="n" PICK=RANDOM>

List the 'SRC' *FIRST* so that existing browsers will not break on it - 
AFAIK current browsers will take the first SRC they see.  Since you can
write the new browser that supports this to look for 'PICK' it is the
special case.  Just like NS looks for LOWSRC first.
