No, those furry things are the lower end of his jacket and the upper end
of his boots.

Oooh, I C now: 

I must admit, I thought that the fur above the waist was at the bottom
of his jacket and that below the knee was at the top of his boots, but I
now notice that there's no fur around his wrists so it's obvious that
he's not wearing a jacket (surfing? in a jacket? Okay so it was a silly
thought... :) so he's obviously wearing shorts...

Btw, I think it's a great picture :)

Unlike this one - it started off as Santa Claus, but it kind of just
turned into one of the wise men - and I was only trying to stay on topic
:)

Btw, this is off topic, but what does LOL stand for? I've come across
quite a lot of TLA's, but I hadn't met that one before I saw it in this

Stymied by the acronyms and symbols used by experience Net heads? Wonder
no more.

---------------------------------------------
[A] Common abbreviations
---------------------------------------------
Acronyms are endemic in the computer industry, and you'll come across
plenty on the Net, in particular in e-mail, IRC and newsgroups. Here's a
guide to the most common.

brb: Be right back.
btw: By the way.
fwiw: For what it's worth.
iow: In other words.
imho: In my humble opinion.
imnsho: In my not so humble opinion.
lol: Laughing out loud.
rotfl: Rolling on the floor laughing.
rtfm: Read the frigging manual.
tanstaafl: There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.
ttfn: Ta-ta for now.
ttyl: Talk to you later.

Some abbreviations are used to convey your emotions often at the end of
sentences:

<grin>: Grin.
<bg>: Big grin.
<vbg>: Very big grin.

This list came from Australian PC User Magazine's Net Guide.
http://www.pcuser.com.au/netguid/START/NETINTRO.HTM

Here are some more Internet related material...

---------------------------------------------
[B] Emoticons(or those funny-looking symbols)
---------------------------------------------
Because online communications usually still involves boring type, we
often miss out on the subtle indications of emotion that humans use when
speaking to one another. Emoticons or `smileys' attempt to fill that
huge gap by giving plain sentences a bit of character.

:) or :-) The original smiley. If you turn your head sideways to the
left you'll clearly see a pair of eyes above a big grin -- with latter
also include a nose! But you don't have to be happy all the time:

:-| Non-plussed.
:-/ Disappointed.
:-( Unhappy frown.
;-( Crying.
;-) Wink.
:-P Poking tongue out (indicates cheekiness).
:-* Blowing a kiss.
%-) Confused or drunk.
:-)) Big grin (or a double chin).
:-D Really big smile.
:-# Swearing or angry.
:-@ Mad or screaming.
:-0 Surprised.
:-& Tongue-tied.
:-x Not telling any secrets.
8-) User wears glasses.
:{} User wears lipstick.
{:-) User wears a wig.
d:-) User wears a baseball cap.
[:) User wears a walkman.
3:-8 User is a cow.
8:] User is a gorilla.
B-) User is Batman.

As you can see, smileys are heaps of fun and with a little imagination
you can come up with all sorts of hilarious combinations.
