"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance--that principle is contempt prior to investigation." -Herbert Spencer
"Against stupidity the gods themselves contend in vain." - Schiller, Die Jungfrau von Orleans, III vi.

My current background is of me and my uncle standing in front of a green "Kandahar 1 [km]" sign in Saskatchewan. We thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately I'm not going to put it up on account of it being a picture of me.
My tablet's wallpaper is this image. It was made from the wallpaper of an M:tG card, Pristine Angel, with a bit of work and trial/error reframing the image.
Because it is a tablet, I frequently switch between viewing the screen horizontally (1024x768) and vertically (768x1024). When I do so, the desktop centers the image and takes either the column or row of the image not clipped by the edge of the screen. It looks like this when horizontal and this when vertical. I'll post my desktop and living room PC when I get home.
After using a sexy but very NSFW background for ages I've reverted back to the epic nukage from nukeitfromorbit.com today, because it looks good stretched to 16:10, too.
Here's my current one (I'm probably do for a change soon though):

Oh come on, you don't look that bad. I'll post it since you're too much of a pussy.

What is it with grotesquely fat underwear-clad men and Compaqs? They seem drawn to them somehow.
どうして?お前が夜に自身お触れるから。 Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

Also, what are you using to get the stats on the desktop? I used to use Samurize but that got discontinued and I got lazy.
QQ is a term which means, ah, crying/whining :P
I use rainmeter (found here at google code), with the Simplicity skin (here). I had to edit the HDD readout a bit because mine are oddly lettered (E and F) - otherwise you should be fine. Besides, it's just editing a notepad file.
