I decided to read ep1[0] too and I saw a picture "use all the memory". I don't know if it's funnier that I checked if you have an "alt" HTML tag or that you actually wrote the text from the picture. People with alt tags are MVPs. :)

Do you remember when mousing over a picture would show the alt tag in something resembling a tooltip? (Maybe it can still be set like this, but isn't default in Chrome or Firefox anymore.) I recall being quite amused sometimes at what people would write as their alt text.

I think the `title` attribute is used to show the tooltips.

XKCD :)

The alt text came from the link title in the markdown :)
