Something weird is going on with the favicon for me (Chrome 25.0.1323.1 dev-m). It's kind of flashing/glitching. Anyone else?

Interestingly that page never stops loading for me and drives Chrome nuts. It keeps loading tons of different images and the icon for stop/refresh alternates between the two states a couple times per second.

I saw that too. When looking at the Chrome developer tools you can see a bunch of stuff being loaded.

I have to say, I'm somewhat disappointed that "fakeimg.pl" isn't actually powered by a perl script with the same name, but by Python.

You are not the first one to tell me that.
