Holy cats. I can't imagine where that came from. It's not, like,
something I'd want to do. :)

Is there any chance that's something that, say, cPanel might do if one
were to enable hot-link blocking? Like perhaps it would only apply to
image requests that didn't come from within the site?

I seem to have an .htaccess in my images directory, as well.
