Avatars! Why did you choose yours

[Evildead666]

This comes from a picture i found on slashdot.
it explains the cycle of amino-acids, and some sort of transformation...don't really remember.

i had to reduce it quite a bit, and now it looks like a baby, a very sick one, but hey.
i only have paint and photoeditor.
looks ok to me.
heres the orig pic.

I think it's kinda obvious

Still working on mine... I came across this cartoon character (Rocko from the show Rocko's Modern Life) and thought it would be good for me. In some ways, I think it was based on me and some friends. The guy that created it used to be my house mate many years ago.

Avatar taken from attached photo, taken last August 19th. Not a very clear photo I might add. I can't find the one for the previous avatar, I was 22 when that one was taken.
And partly stolen from Rags' avatar

Holy crap.

Look at that beer bottle.

Maybe I'll replace it when my next child is born in October

How 'bout an ultrasound image until then? (And keep it updated! )

P.S. Thank goodness, there is no category "micro MURCer"

LOL. I'm afraid the current piccie is even harder to make out. If the next one is better I may consider it

I needed an avatar and DBZ was on.

Speaking of Parhelia....anyone done a google on the word lately?

I remember a few weeks ago doing a search and finding nothing but the sundog type. Now it seems there is another Parhelia being picked up by google....

My trusty and very old Merriam Webster's says a parhelion is "A mock sun, any one of several bright spots, often tinged with color, at the altitude of the sun." etymology from the Greek: para (beside) + helios (the Sun)

Apparently now, according to some, it is a yet-to-be released new GPU by a company called Matrox (or, at variance, Maxtor .)

Edit: Sorry, Rags, read through that a bit quickly first go round.
