I've always wondered but I never really knew how...

You can't.
Excepted when the image library has bugs, but that's a security hole.

Well this topic really interests me too. I see people with signatures that are images and they have a character holding a sign and it says something and it shows your IP address. How do they do that? I would like to make that, except I want to make a custom design with my own graphics.

That are not normal images but scripts or better yet dynamic images mostly done by asp (aspImage) but its also posible with php I have seen.

I think if you search with google @ dynamic images + php OR asp" you will find something you could use to make them yourself

They are perfectly valid images, with no script in them.
The only thing to notice is that they're generated dynamically (but all it's done on server-side : you can save the image, it'll show exactly the same thing...)

The easiest way to do this is to use PHP and the GD library.

For something like a dynamic picture/counter that displays number/names/etc, you would need to code something from your server not a script embedded into an image. It would be like some php code that decides what picture to use.
