Excuse the bandwidth but....

Can anyone identify the origins of my current avatar?

Just wondering how many around here are in this (small?) niche.

Thanks

may I ask why this is in the science and technology forum?
just wondering...seems odd..

Is that a UK thing? Ive never heard of it in the states

As to the technology of the art in question, I would say it was a mecanical device that uses ink tubes and tiny ballbearings all encased in plastic. A lot of these technologically advanced devices have been rumored to originated with alien technology, and most have some form of markings on the side of them. Ironically, some of these markings resemble closley the word BiC

Im sorry, I couldnt help it.

Well, in some circles it is said that the government agreed to 40,000 cattle mutilations in order to procure this alien technology. At one point, the government was prepared to hand over PortoRica just to get thier hands on it. The words "Revolutionary" and "Uber Tech" were tosse around at the highest levels. Eventually, the aliens kept thier bargain with the government and we obtained this vital technology. It took almos 39 years just to completly analyze the technology and learn to use it. Once all lab test were complete, our govrnment had a working hybrid prototype operational. This device would change they world as we know it. And we named the BiC

thanks for enlightening me as to the undoubtedly mysterious origins to this item which seems to be something we take for granted today

It is a high level scientific computing language with a lot of canned functions and some nice plotting capabilities. If you think you know what it is then type in "spy" and if my avatar pops up, you know you are right...
