This is a visual representation of "The Big Question."

Previous incarnations (pre-LJ) might have asked "What is the nature of man?" or "What is the purpose?" Where as LJ has refined that concept into the simple and perfect question of "What?"

I don't really care about money... I'll eventually have what I need. I have no need for the kind of money you are implying.

You know.. if he didn't make himself look like an idiot... perhaps by simple looking "cool" or introspective.. he might have given that picture a sense of meaning. Until you see him, form bottom up, that picture is actually kinda cool and artful. Even with the sunglasses and what.. "Grills"?, if he just looked stoic.. or introspective, or even just a simple smile.. it would have been so much better.

You're complaining about Lil Jon looking like a dipshit in a picture that has Ayn Rand in it?

As far as I can tell, that picture features (top to bottom): Lil Jon, Ayn Rand, Aristotle, Aleister Crowley, and various unnamed people and pre-humans. Lil Jon might be a dipshit, but he has nothing on the massive amount of raw dipshitness that Ayn Rand has, directly or indirectly, brought into this world.

I thought she looked familiar. In that case, that would make this a picture of all of the dead ends of humanity.

Ayn Rand - Uberlibertarian who entertained the naive but passionately held belief that people should be allowed to enjoy the fruits of their own labour and ingenuity without bureaucrats and welfare dependent plebs demanding a slice of the pie for no better reason than some vague over-extrapolated notion of human equality. She is famous for an allegedly unreadable work of fiction by the name of Atlas Shrugged the only bit of which anyone can remember is the question "Who is John Galt?" Make of that what you will. :p

You should read up on objectivist metaphysics sometime. It's some of the silliest semantic masturbation I've come across in my life :)

Btw, that guy that I called Aleister Crowley? The author probably intended for him to be a nameless scribe, probably Egyptian, so that the portraits would be in chronological order. But then again, hey. Is this the kind of picture where you actually expect coherency?

Oh I don't know - I tend to have Hegel and Kant sharing the honours on that score. :p

That milord is a "grill". A popular piece of mens jewelry displaying "wealth" and/or "gangsta-tude" by a specially molded (usually by an orthodontist) insert over the teeth. Often made from precious metals, and sometimes encrusted with semi-precious and precious stones, they're known for being extremely expensive, making it hard to close one's mouth and utterly ridiculous. A man who possesses such a thing is said to have "mad bling" or "ice" and their character is usually disturbingly "off the hizzy".
