Okay, 180's gets my vote too, partly because if I'm not mistaken he's been using it unwaveringly since I first encountered him on the olden forum way back in the olden days.
No longer. I like to change things up, and do little else every few hours for no reason.

Reply to jamalrob Jamalrob, I have been intrigued by the little face in the upper left corner of your thumbnail. It is borne also on the thumbnail of the quicklinks to the site. Is that your portrait, or that of the Young Kierkegaard? All other famous philosophers were born old, he is the only one I know of who had had a youth.
Reply to god must be atheist That's Hypatia, Greek neoplatonist philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. It shows up on all the staff members' thumbnails.

An adult sperm whale can hold its breath for an hour and a half, FYI. Pretty impressive, you must admint.
Sperm whales are great, so don't get me wrong, but an hour and a half isn't all that impressive to me. I mean, they're sea creatures. It's been 50 million years since they, in a fit of madness, decided to return to the sea. That's plenty of time to practice. An hour and a half over 50 million years? Could do better.
Without making any judgement of quality or value, I think my icon represents my personality and philosophy better than any other on the forum represents its owner's.

Your thumbnail is very distinct. The cross looking, or perplexed, philosophical child.
Cool. I always thought it resembled wounds or blood. Reminds me of something else, but I can’t ever figure out what.

Nah. I did like your previous one though, the face in the weather map.

Have I mentioned that sperm whales have been on the endangered species list for fifty years?
A little show of appreciation and support would demonstrate exemplary character.

I do not know. Tigers are graceful.
