Oh cool, we get to explain our avatars here.

Mine might seem a bit glaring.. it's the Gordian Knot.
The Gordian Knot is a metaphor for an intractable problem, solved by a bold stroke ("cutting the Gordian knot"). The myth it refers to is associated in legend with Alexander the Great.

According to a Phrygian tradition, at Telmissus, the ancient capital of Phrygia, which was in the eastern part of Phrygia that later became part of Galatia, an oracle decreed to the Phrygians, who found themselves temporarily without a legitimate king, that the next man to enter the city driving an ox-cart should become their king. Gordias, a poor peasant, happened to drive into town with his wife, both riding on an ox-cart, and he was declared king. In gratitude, he dedicated the ox-cart to the Phrygian god Sabazios, whom the Greeks identified with Zeus, and either tied it to a post or tied its shaft with an intricate knot of cornel (Cornus mas) bark. It was further prophesied by an oracle that the one to untie the knot would become the king of Asia, or at least so claimed the publicists in the circle of Alexander the Great.

...

Today, the term "Gordian Knot" applies to an apparently insoluble problem requiring a bold and unconventional solution.


Eh, in case you're wondering I'm not a part of the problem 3Tooth

That one was cool but it was too small Thumb Down it should have been higher, I liked it though it was cool.

that's cool too is it like a face vase? It is not big enough really that's why its not a great avatar but I voted good for it (which I rarely do)

And knn I liked the original dancing girl better it was really cool, this one just looks sort of weird.Actually this one is till cool but I don't really like the style of animation in it.

And I still think ONEdermans is the best.
