I'm really sorry that these things hamper your pc's performance; I try to cater for popular demand -- and these guys like the static -- but I'm unsure of whether to have an opt-out feature for folks with lower-end specs.

The easiest remedy is to refresh the page. the Jodl head currently have a 1 in 5 chance of appearing in pages, so I'll most probably go away in the next page load.

You can also append "?useskin=monobook" to the url. that will take you to the more familiar wikipedia look to the interface, though some stuff like comments might not load properly. you can also try the mobile skin by appending "?useskin=wikiamobile" insstead.

Again, I'm very sorry that you have to go through this. It was intended as a very limited time feature for Halloween, and the end of October is already nearing so I don't feel like making last-minute changes to the code. have a pleasant Halloween though. :)
