Yeah, yeah, yeah…
The background’s a little loud and the link colors aren’t precisely right just yet, but the first person to correctly identify all 16 characters in the headmast will get a year’s worth of free webhosting, up to 150mb.
[Update] Man, y’all are terrible. From the left… Clues: #2 is a famous activist, #5 is NOT Howard Stern, #16 is an Israeli singer. First person to e-mail the correct list to freshkyke {at} nospam.jewschool(.)com (kill the ‘nospam.’) by Monday, 5PM EST, wins it.
[Update] Congratulations to Solomyr.
I of course know who all of them are but I won’t spill cuz what need do I have for your Web hosting? Also I am pissed - we color coordinated the IsraelExperts banner ads for the previous design and then you done gone and changed it again. Now No one wants to do new banners unless part of the payment includes a tab of acid.
Jesus moby. Also… can you get a hold of me please about that Thursday in JTown thang?

—Ari Frumsky · April 28th, 2005 at 9:20 pm
I like the concept, but I really liked the previous design. It was subtle, which is an important quality for a background.
—Yusul · April 28th, 2005 at 11:32 pm
Love the new look. Looks like you still have pink remnants. (I like the dripping blue fans)

I think we have a winner…
Good work Solomyr!
—Frumsky · May 1st, 2005 at 11:50 pm
Thank you. But there is no way I could have figured it out without other people posting their ideas. Specifically, Mobius’ hint regarding Rosa Luxemburg, moose’s statement that #4 was Carlebach, DiGiTaL’s comments that #5 looked like a Ramone, lots of people throwing out the name Emma Goldman for number six, k&y’s ID’ing of Abbie Hoffman, and finally again Mobius’ hint regarding Chava Alberstein (I kept thinking Tori Amos, but knew it wasn’t here. At least I guessing a singer).
It wasn’t like I figured it out in a vacuum. Whether or not I “deserve†the prize is debatable. Not that I even need/want it. I just enjoyed the game. So if anyone was really hungry for the prize, maybe Mobius will give it to you. But one thing that should be added to the site, is a list of the people and links to their wikipedia entries. It would be an interesting little Jewish history/pop culture lesson.
—Solomyr · May 2nd, 2005 at 7:43 am
I knew Schneerson, Sarah Silverman, Woody Allen and Krusty the clown. So apparently, I get to the Lubavitch deli down the block and watch enough TV. But I may have to go back to Jewschool to learn to recognize the others.
