It's IE. The effect you're seeing is the infamous peek-a-boo bug.
On your page it's there because the <br class="clearleft;" /> is
touching the floated image. If you change this bit:

iuer liuh lidfuh iniu gbnliuh dfliudh erdfbbnv iou ehbvefiyug
<br class="clearleft" />
link to page with thumbnails of work and maybe a longer profile of
human
</p>

to this:

iuer liuh lidfuh iniu gbnliuh dfliudh erdfbbnv iou ehbvefiyug
</p>
<br><br class="clearleft" />
<p>
link to page with thumbnails of work and maybe a longer profile of
human
</p>

....the effect is gone.

You are giving a 'clear' to a BR in the middle of the block element P?
Try (I am using the class names to illustrate function in example)

<div class="outer">
<!-- 1st group -->
<div class="inner">
<img class="floatleft">
assoc text
</div>
<div class="clearer">
text below
</div>
<!-- 2nd group -->
<div class="inner">
<img class="floatleft">
assoc text
</div>
<div class="clearer">
text below
</div>
</div>
