Aside from that, being rational is not only optional, but is frowned upon.  We hate elves.  We kill for socks.  We sacrifice nobles.  We love kobolds.

It needs to be on the Internet, not your computer.

A lot of sites don't allow hot-linking; if you use a site like that to host your picture, the site will detect that the IP address of your computer didn't recently request a page that has that image on it, and either return nothing for the picture, or sometimes a "hot linking not allowed" picture instead of the real picture.

I'm guessing you found a site that allows hot-linking already, since I see you have a profile picture now.
