That guy is an arrogant idiot who needs to be taken down several notches. Any video refuting him is a welcome addition. I haven't watched it yet because these computers have no speakers but will watch it when I get home later.

Thanks in advance. (I'm sure it's a slap in the face)

That video is so true. VenomFangX is an extreme example, he pwns himself in every YouTube, and sometimes in every sentence he's such a tit. I personally suspect him of being the stupidest person on the planet.

We all do it to a lesser extent though.

My avatar has developed a mind of her own. About a week ago I linked to an avatar of a woman in a blue burka doing the famous Marilyn Monroe pose with the skirt blowing up in the wind, and I haven't attempted to change it since.

For some mysterious reason, every time I log on she seems to have changed her burka. I've no idea why.

Thats brilliant - look forward to whatever provocative image comes next (lets hope its not too contentious if its beyond your control!)

It must be a rotating image, wherever its linked. What is the URL of the website?

I don't know, I copied it from someone on Dawkins forum, and the URL that comes up in my profile is RD.net. I'll PM him and ask where he got it from.

Didnt you paste a link into your profile for the image to come up, or can you moderators do things differently?

Oh, I thought you were joking. That's pretty funny.

No, we do things the same as you, but as I said in the above post, when I look at the url pasted into my profile it just links back to RD.net. I'll have to PM him and find out where he got the image.

It is pretty funny, I'm just hoping she doesn't turn into a hard core porn image or a piccy of the Qur'an printed on loo roll.

RD.net does not pull up an image on the net, how did you upload it? I wonder what the machine is behind your stalking horse, the previous 2 (dont get this one, unless the red thing is a burkha as opposed to a shawl?) were interesting.

Whatever it becomes, I look forward to see what he/she metamorphises into next - it certainly suffers from an identity crisis in any case.

I had a reply from the dude over at RD. net. Apparently its not a rotating image at all, its just that every time he changes his avatar I get what he gets.

Why don't you just copy the image and upload it yourself?

I can now he's given me the link to it, but for the minute I'm happy with the one I have. If he chooses an avvy I don't like I'll change it.

Variety is the spice of life - we wont take offence at what he choose next, even if it is a picture of my mum & dad at it, after all its not you selecting the images..
