Is there an auto-import for iPhoto?

I'm kind of a pack-rat when it comes to pictures. I save a LOT of stupid/funny pictures I come across on the Internet which I usually just dump to a folder on my desktop. Is there a way to set up iPhoto 08 to auto-import those photos whenever I open it up?

Why use a folder when you can do it directly. If you right click a photo you should get the option to save to iPhoto automatically..
(This assumes safari 3.1 is being used )

Automater & Folder Action combo perhaps.

If somebody doesn't come up with a solution first, I need to find my iLife disc and get iPhoto on my Mac to see what the possibilities are and check back.

stupid double posting. thank the dogs for editing features.

Auto-importing photos to iPhoto

When I googled "autoimport iPhoto" this thread is returned as the second result, but it doesn't provide a satisfactory solution to the original post. Until now.
This article from Macworld describes a drag-and-drop solution to batch-importing photos into iPhoto without repeatedly opening iPhoto.
