Why do all the picture links open into new windows?

• When you click on a picture and it opens in another window, you can continue to read and go down the page while the picture loads.  This page is hosted on geocites which is slow and if the pictures opened in the same window as the main page it would take forever to go back and forth.  Most people are on 56k modems that run at 28-40k.  I wanted to keep everything simple using one main page, tables and very small graphics (except for National Enquirer scans 200+k).

• Because I am not going to spend that much time on a stupid fucking webpage like this.  I'm not even sure if I ran a spell check...  and I dont care.
