You mean the black and white avatar? That was Simon and Garfunkel? Oh, ha! I never knew that. :)
I never fully understood the Simone and Garfunkel mania that swept California until now.
The Simone and Garfunkel mania was an unsuccessful attempt at merging the existential feminism of Simone de Beauvoir with the lilting tones of Art Garfunkel. The craze quickly passed as though the song 'The Ethics of Ambiguity' was not a full iteration of the classic existentialist text in folk-rock, it was nonetheless 3 and a half hours long, requiring it to be released across 4 vinyl LPs. Further, Simone and Garfunkel fell out with one another in the early 60's due to Garfunkel's assertion that freedom was an independent aspect of the Dasein, irrespective of its historicity and that contextualization was not an important part of any phenomenological ontology. Simone maintained that Art was undermining the essentially contextual and situated nature of our freedom and besides, Art had stupid hair.
Simone went on to form a little known band that predated punk rock by 20 years with Sartre. Garfunkel found Paul Simon, and the rest is history.

The only thing I can think of is Department of Chemistry.
And given as you can remember way, way back to my Emptysprial days with my Simon&Garfunkel avatar, you'll know I approve muchly of the song.
