I was born in Atlanta & am obliged to support the Braves till the day I die.

You got the hand-me-downs. The best Braves team was the Milwaukee Braves, which I enjoyed rooting for as a kid.

Story of my life. My aunt has six boys, so my brothers & I got all their hand-me-downs since the time we were born. :)

Mine's a coconut crab, which my wife and I actually saw in the wild while we were on honeymoon on Niue in the South Pacific. Wonderful place that I'd highly recommend visiting if you're in the neighbourhood...

My previous iteration were the Obelisk of Light from Command and Conquer, which fit with my old username, and a nicotine molecule because it looked interesting.

I wish that there was a 'search this thread' function here so that I could check if I have already answered.

Alfred Russell Wallace, because he deserves credit for the theory of evolution. And, I like to, in some small way, point out that evolution is not all about Darwin, but about thousands if not tens of thousands of other scientists all working on, verifying, refining, extending, the theory.

Mine is a sunrise . I’m decidedly not a morning person and that sunrise was so spectacular, I stumbled around, tripping over my feet , looking for my phone and my glasses to take that photo. I just like it

My avatar is Philip Melanchthon, a disciple of Luther and a German scholastic theologian and teacher. He was trained in law before becoming a follower of Luther's teachings . I chose him as my avatar because I identify with him, though at times I suppose I am more like Luther and given to hyperbole and a good argument.

My custom description under my picture says in Latin "My first name is Christian, my last name is Catholic". It's a quote by Melanchthon describing his take on being Lutheran.

Good choice. I think his work in astrobiology is impressive too.

Ours goes like this:

I'm a Christian by election and a Baptist by conviction.

Mine is pretty simple........

1st whack from the Bible shocks and binds him against the wall:

Rev 20:
2 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years;
3 But after these things he must be released for a little while.

2nd whack, he takes a dive into the lake of fire:

Revelation 20:10
The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where[fn] the beast and the false prophet are. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

This song came out the month before I joined the military in '68.....
