:) - its really strange (and one of the main reasons I post pictures) to see
how many unintentional things ppl can see in an image!

I think I made a spelling mistake. In my native language it is spelled
"disfunksie", so I just translated that straight into English. However, on
reflection, it does work well for the image. An unintentional effect of the
picture initially was that there must be something subtly "wrong" with it,
so dysfunction spelled "disfunction" fits in well, methinks.

Fanx for taking a peek...
