Ho Lhyzz, you did rain on my parade, but at the same time it’s nice you mentioned it. As I’m not a professional graphist nor one at all, I can’t really tell, though it seems like you’re right (notice the coffee smoke-like that gets out of the pipe?).
BUT, pipe or no pipe, it doesn’t matter: the dog is beautiful!
At the same time, there goes the belgian moment (which went totally unnoticed anyway *slightly embarrassed*), “this is not a pipe” transformed into “there is no pipe”. ;-p

Maybe someone should warn the people over at [ http://cat.llgc.org.uk/cgi-bin/gw/chameleon?skin=eresources&lng=en&inst=consortium&conf=./chameleon.conf&search=KEYWORD&function=INITREQ&elementcount=1&u1=12101&op1=0&t1=4461981 ] of the possible digital alteration. :-s

@Dale:

“Sometimes a pipe is just a pipe.”:
- “Parfois une pipe n’est rien qu’une pipe”
- “Parfois une pipe est juste une pipe”

But I wouldn’t say that to anybody as “pipe” is part of french slang… Or you should insist on the literal side of the word. )
Pup= chiot (un)
Dog= chien (Un chien/ masculine – Une chienne/feminine )

@Michael Claymore: you’re right. Although, the dog is paying justice to the actor. ^^

Of course, it’s not in fact the image of a dog smoking a pipe. It’s the image of an image of a dog smoking a pipe. Possibly. This is why I gave up philosophy – it does my head in, let alone in French. Am enjoying the commentary though! Meg & NOMTOM, can we make The Theory of Qte a regular feature of CO please?

On the Internet nobody knows you are a dog.
Wait, Robert Downey Jr. is a black dog? Whatevers.
