Stupid Web Tricks

Exploding heads attracted Secret Service agents to Daniel Burford, according to USA Today (FlashByte 2/3/96, http://www.shore.net/~redun/index.html). The 22-year-old computer artist attracted attention recently when he began "exploding" celebrity heads on his World Wide Web page. Not really, of course, but as he puts it: "Chop out the parts of the head you want to explode, paint in some fake blood and there you go!"

Recent explosion victims include Rush Limbaugh, Boris Yeltsin and Bob Dole. It was Dole who attracted the attention of the Secret Service. Recently, two agents dropped by to discuss Mr. Burford's artistry. "They asked me if I'd ever owned a gun, how I felt about Bob Dole, if I'd ever been in a mental hospital," Burford said. "I guess they decided I wasn't a security threat."
