(The following are just examples...)

This is normal:

"/images/title.gif"
"/images/thumb1.jpg"
"/images/thumb2.jpg"
etc.

This is not normal:

"http://www.asdf.com/index.html"
"http://www.asdf.com/images/title.gif"
etc.

Why (and how) do links to other sites (not on my server) and links to other sites' images (also not on my server) show up in my access logs?!
