Is there a pattern to this strangeness? Or is it considered simply legitimate randomness?
Could there be anything related to some binary or bit encrypted code with the image sizes or anything? -TheThebruce
In my opinion, the images are changing in position and size simply to make the site cluttered. It makes it that much more difficult for information to be seen if they are covered by distorted images. They don't appear to have much more signifigance, but do succeed in covering certain pieces of text. -TheGirs
Sequential image sizes
I only catalogued the about.html page, and stopped eventually as it appears that there may not be a sequential property of the size changes... sequence listed below, for each img tag within the page. uses the form:"file name" width height (alternate? original width/height)
index.html refreshing that page currently doesn't change any image sizes. Did the culprit decide to stop doing that? I can't remember if the front ever did change images or whatnot, or if the HTML was always clean...

if anyone feels like analyzing the sizes, or just the difference in sizes, go right ahead... but in the hopes that I didn't just waste a significant portion of my life, here's the same listing of those images just broken down by image and which sizes have been used to display them:

does anyone have the time to continue this investigation? My gut feeling is not to pass this off as truly random numbers... certain images have alternate sizes, and there could be a possible pattern within them... for instance, what's the connection between BEE_LOGO's 3 sizes? widths of 760-1760-10580? what's the connection with 10580? and why height 13 with that? Come on, some math wiz's curiosity must be piqued here -TheThebruce
