Free as in libra
March 5th, 2008 | 
Author: Searching for pictures of scales (because, really, what else can you use to represent ethics in the abstract?). What I have found: You get a higher number (not proportion) of relevant results from "libra" as a search term than from "scales". >:(
(But "scales" nets more, and far cuter, irrelevant results.)
Here are some pretties.
Cent fishscales. (I assume they're cents; at least, I spy an obnoxious slogan on them in the closeup.)
Detail from a painting. (Hey, Profusionites, I've glanced at the upper half of that picture three times. My heart started racing each time. I've no idea why, but I suspect blame lies somewhere.)
Dead fish. Don't hate me, but while the subject matter is morbid beyond taste, I still find the picture pretty.
The stock.xchng site keeps improving. They're almost a free mini iStockphoto.com now. Still need to improve their tagging, though. iStock's system is clever but hugely convoluted; must've cost a fortune.
