httpd access log entries

Here's a couple entries that were out of the norm in my access_log files. Do these mean anything?

205.188.116.139 - - [23/Jan/2005:20:53:22 -0500] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "-"
205.188.116.67 - - [23/Jan/2005:20:53:25 -0500] "HEAD /hottub.jpg HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "-"
152.163.100.139 - - [26/Jan/2005:19:03:47 -0500] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "-"
152.163.100.66 - - [26/Jan/2005:19:03:50 -0500] "HEAD /hottub.jpg HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "-"

what i can think is that ur webserver was accessed by these ip addresses on the given time

Thanks.... I got that part.... I was more concerned about these entries with the dashes, was someone trying something????

HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 200 - "-" "-"

this is from

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html

HEAD the entity-header fields corresponding to the requested resource are sent in the response without any message-body;

what happens is that first u get this request and 200 signifies that the webserver replies OK
next it tries to access the jpg files
