slacky.eu

This topic is just for one silly question...
I was wondering... Loris has an interesting avatar. The site admin of linuxpackages.net has almost the same avatar...
On http://www.slackware.com/~msimons/slackware/grfx/ I can see this man's face with a pipe also.
Who is this man anyway? And what is this? A kind of old Slackware logo? Because I think the blue sphere with the "S" inside is the Slackware's logo now...

Please explain

Have a look at these sites:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slackware
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius
http://www.subgenius.com/
Then you will get an answer!

Bye,
