I made a list of header-images, for you all to gleam upon without you having to f5 20-ish times before all headers would have taken their turn at the top. So: enjoy! I will be adding some more

The Nobel Peace Prize 2007 has been awarded to a guy dedicated to telling us how bad we are for the environment, and what disasters we have spelled upon us.

These standards and values are inspired by the
