my avatar is Monkey Professor from College University (online cartoon). here is his bio: http://www.collegeuniv.com/images/Final/Monkey Prof.swf He teaches monkey physics, which has to do with things like the projectile motion of feces, bananas, ect.
I had a hard time finding one small enough to use. I am not all knowledgeable when it comes to making them. I found this one and it resembles me so I kept it.
