Somehow, you've managed to get a hidden image loaded into the body of the page. If you do a view source, you might not see it. It shows up using firebug and is in the hardcode as
<div id="trailimageid" style="width: 420px; top: -2000px; left: -2000px; height: 420px; visibility: hidden;" startx="0" starty="0" startw="175" starth="175" imagename="bmz_cache/d/d6ab7fa65a3b457d60d5aa65ed170b3c.image.400x400.jpg" imgtitle="You and Me">
The file is loading late and the hidden call works like a charm.

Result -- a 420px by 420px placeholder.
