Those are pretty cool, would be great for a geek site as default avatars.

I'd want it strictly as an option to choose and would still like to be able to instead set my own default avatar. I might want to set something like a graphic that says "I'm Too Lazy to Setup My Avatar So I Get This Instead". 😆
