Andrew I think  you should now get your gggg grandfather framed!
It's just a picture I found on the internet, he's not actually my GGGG Grandfather :P

...Infact it's not even a photo, someone just made it with photoshop.

Nice work rkaa (you actually made him look normal!), but did you read my second post? :D

Andrew

Yes.. I read it ;)
It's an engraving of Noah Webster, born Oct. 16. 1758, West Hartford, Connecticut. He wrote a dictionary. Found the image here and downscaled:

Funny... the public domain image we've used here (also used in Wikipedia) is probably a handmade copy of an older engraving:

This last one is much better

Yeah, I got the image from Uncyclopedia.org which is like Wikipedia but they make all the articles false.  A lot of them are very funny (particularly the one about alliteration: http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Alliteration )

I think I'll lock this thread now since April Fool's Day is over and this is pushing the proper threads down one.
