Ok, I think this is it. I believe this is my first twitter avi. And no, I don’t know what I was looking at.
I don’t think this was my first Twitter avi. But it was one that I had a while back. It is the first in the series of avatar pictures in which Bear and I have collaborated.
Funny or Die: The History of Twitter by Dr. T. Wheaton, Professor of Tweetology

Once again plagiarism of tweets has come up. Here’s Twitter’s position on copying tweets (screenshot as of March 15, 2010).
