Of course, nothing beats avatars. One thousand points to the first person who identifies mine.
​
My vote for worst avatar: Any with animation. Don't folks know that automatically draws your attention, and that's really annoying?
​
My vote for best: That monkey Percipient was using, cuz I like monkeys.

You see, the thousand points you're all just aching to have will likely go unclaimed on this forum, as my avatar's visage is borrowed from noone from the biological or physical sciences. If anyone cares, some hints: He's well known in my own personal professional circles, and he's related to a famous novelist. Heck that's giving it away!
​
Animated avatars: Well, the Taz one is at least amusing, but I'm still getting pretty tired of having the edges of every screen I look at - TV or computer - filled with flashing, moving doodads. Makes me want to read books or something. Watching Star Trek:TNG on TNN the other day, at times fully 1/3 of the screen was taken up by an advertisement for the upcoming Spike channel ("Why is that helicopter flying towards Picard's head?").
​
Maybe I'm just well on my way to curmudgeonhood.

Congrats to MrHambre, he of the rather abstract avatar, for winning 1000 points. Do with them as you will.
​
Darn funny post, too.
