True, I guess we could do something like that.  The only issue I have with 
it is that if the person commenting isn't so good with his/her English, it 
could cause an issue.

I was tossing around pre-building a bunch of five-digit numbers and 
adjusting the PIL-using code to instead read the file of the appropriate 
number and spit it to stdout.  So then we're not building the image on the 
fly, we're just sourcing the appropriate one.
