I'm sure you can google "avatars" and find a bunch.  

But make your own.  Resize and crop a picture until it's 64x64, and there ya go.  Personalized avatar.

I wrote a program at work that can have avatars for different users, and I farmed a bunch of 'heads' from theonion.com from their editorial section.  My favorite is the guy from this article:

go to this sight or one of many others like it and find something you like, right click it and save it. Then use image ready to make it 64 X 64.

Some guy I saw last week had a great one animation(about 30 secs worth) called rising water. It featured a stick figure waking up in a square shaped room, noticing a plug in a spigot at the lower left hand corner of the room and proceeding to pull it.  At first it drips, filling the room slowly. He tries  to replug it time and time again only to have the plug shoot out with increasingly more water pressure. Finally, the poor stick figure, after treading water, finds himself in a water-saturated avatar and drowns. There isn't really a moral to the story but it was a bit disturbing. I forget whose it was but would like to find something of equal sophistication.... Or not.

Relax pal, I like the avator a lot. I may have called it disturbing but I meant it in a good way, as in disturbingly-funny. Maybe I should have used the word 'neat' instead, but I thought my choice was a bit more evocative of what I felt. Personally, anything anthropomorphic that drowns in a sealed room is disturbing to me, but that's just me. I have an unreasonably elevated fear of dying in the water... I guess this means you're not gonna tell me where to get it then, huh.
