Explain your Avatar!!

Hey People,

I keep wanting to ask people about their avatars, but I don't want to derail threads so explain why you chose your current avatar, and / or what it means.

I chose this, as it is the "eye" / camera from HAL9000 in 2001. So what's yours?

Mine is self explanatory too

People are so stupid
 
It's a view of Raiatea and Taha'a from an airplane when I was flying to Bora Bora in the South Pacific.

I thought yours was somewhere in the South Pacific. Just before 9/11, I was in French Polynesia. The last island I visited was Bora Bora, before returning to Tahiti for the flight back, a few days before 9/11 went down. Amazing place with very nice people.

My avatar is a pic of Jeremy Wade taken in the Congo, just a guy I live vicariously through sometimes.

I don't view HAL as a villain, but as a victim....

Surprised there was this much argument over something fairly clear. Hal is the antagonist, the villain is traditionally the antagonist, and has a negative effect on the other characters (especially the protagonist). Ergo, Hal = villain.


My avatar was always the surgeon from FuseTalk, but he didn't make the trip over to vB, so no avatar for me. 🙁

Philosophically yes, but in the film's plot no.
