I'm a bit shy, so instead of a self-image I put one up of my friend Roger - a wannabe Perl programmer who hasn't quite caught on yet ;)	[reply]

My initial thought was passed out wookie, but I have to second your vote for a dead or passed out camel.	[reply]

Looks like it's a single animal, a camel facing upwards. I think you're mistaking the nostrils for the eyes of a lighter-colored, second animal.	[reply]

While I did not go to University of Delaware, (I went to Illinois Institute of Technology, on the South Side of the Great City of Chicago), I did start programming with punched cards. They were quite good at enforcing the "80 column rule" some people insist upon for code formatting. Of course, because of punched cards, I generally fail to abide by this rule. emc "Being forced to write comments actually improves code, because it is easier to fix a crock than to explain it. " —G.

The story about mine is not terribly interesting - and shortly explained in my homenode itself. Basically I have resisted the temptation to submit a coveted image for quite a long time. Then I happened to have a picture taken at the marriage of one of my friends. So I just resized it, uploaded it and decided that it's going to stay there.	[reply]

Some people find quantum mechanics just a bohr . . . Sorry, I couldn't resist; just my quarky sense of humor I guess. (I could continue stringing together more geeky puns but I probably should move on to Greener pastures . . .)	[reply]

Are you trying to Mach us? I think quantum mechanics is just fine, man... George Gamow, the physicist, was a notorious punster. He once wrote a paper with another physicist, by the name of Alpher. They found a third person, a friend of Gamow, to contribute his name, even though he hadn't contributed anything to the article. His name was Hans Bethe. So you had the Alpher-Bethe-Gamow Paper...

mine is just a pencil self portrait (because I'm much better looking in pencil). It initially captured my receeding hairline perfectly but then I changed it when we had silly hat week (I should change it back but we're only a few weeks away from the second annual silly hat week). -derby	[reply]

My home node pic is a kid in a Darth Vader suit holding a light saber. One of these days I'll change it again, but it will likely be to something with no relation to any of my previous images.	[reply]

Speaking of coveted images, some monk out there has one that I found very amusing for some weird reason; but I lost the name of the monk. The picture was of a guy in black motorcycle riding gear, helmet and all, riding a playground toy in an extreme action pose. I'd be grateful if anyone knows of this monk's home node.	[reply]

Withigo, Monks change their user images so there is the possibility it isn't around anymore. I don't recall the image you are referring to and I spend a lot of time reading monk's homenodes but if you want to check - you can see all the monk's photos here. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

My user image is my 6-year old, holding up the vanity plate I had just gotten that day for my motorcycle. I used her image again as the medium for Vocal Japh. A couple of times I tried to get my 2-year old to stand still long enough to get her into the picture, but as usual she refused to cooperate. I did use a picture we had of her for Latent Japh, though. Every once in a while I check out the full set of monks' pictures (thanks bart, for reminding me of the link), and enjoy seeing the variety and individuality it represents. s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/	[reply]

My current homenode pic is a picture of myself standing next to a Global Hawk UAV. I also have a couple of other pictures from my trip to the Middle East. One with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and one with the Washington Redskins Cheerleaders. TStanley -------- War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that “nothing is worth war” is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. -- John Stuart Mill	[reply]
