[typo] Rotating image headers and caching

[Michael Purvis]

I think that there's two basic approaches you could pursue:

1) Have the rotating image controlled by a javascript. It's not as wacky 
as you think, considering that the dates are already... Basically just 
put in a default image (as a background), and then have the onload event 
randomly switch it up.

2) Set Rails to output ".php" files in the cache, instead of ".html" I 
expect that PHP is a better server-side tool for this kind of simple 
task. (However, I could be wrong... and I'm not sure how to change the 
default extension on the output files...)
