  1. Click on the "Post Reply"-button.
  2. Click on the "Insert Image"-button on the "Post Reply"-page.
  3. Enter the URL in the upper text field.
  4. (Optional) It may be useful to modify the image size to an appropriate format:
    Click on "Preview". The width and height appear and may be modified to values less than 1000 pixels.
  5. Click on the OK-button. The Insert Image-dialog disappears and the image shows up.
  6. Click on Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C to copy the entire content of the reply to the clipboard. This may be very useful when the passing of the CAPTCHA test is rewarded with an Access Denied.
  7. Click on the "Post Reply"-button.
When access is denied, post the reply again using Ctrl-V. The text content and the images appear.

One more thing: the names of the historical features are in alphabetical order. The X should be next Smile.

Magog, the second of the seven sons of Japheth mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 (The Bible). Often associated with  apocalyptic traditions.
     The pairing of Gog and Magog is found in the Book of Revelation 20:8, in which instance they may merely be metaphors for archetypal enemies of God.
 
("With the guards of Magog, swarming around,
The Pied Piper takes his children underground..." - Supper's Ready)
