And because I really, really want to know (so curious, me!), please tell me your favorite and least favorite of my userpics, and why. Just comment with it, and I'll return the favor. It's great fun to see what people do and do not like!

Hmmm... it's really difficult because I like a lot of the things you like, but if I have to choose just one it'd be the "magnolia scent" one. I like the picture and the colours, and I like the crack theories behind it...

My least favourite is the one with the penguin for the immature reason that penguins remind of my president. :/

Can I ask why do penguins remind you of your president? O_o

It's a stupid joke our journalists made up when he was elected, and it stuck. He's from one of the southern provinces (Santa Cruz) and there are lots of penguins there, so he got that nickname.

Apparently they thought it made him more approachable or something. I think it makes it sound as if we're governed by a Batman villain. >_<

And now they put penguins everywhere so every time I see one my gut reaction is "Political subliminal message! Gaah!!!"

That sucks o_o One of my favorite animals, involved with politics.

I like to think of the Venezuelan president as a really dumb monkey. El eslabón perdido o algo así (no supe decirlo en inglés)
