Something that has always bothered me...

...is the poor photoshop job on the main page. Perhaps it's intentional and was done poorly for comedic value, but I've taken the time nonetheless to make it better.
We see here the original image -
In the top-right circle, the wall behind the glasses clearly does not match the rest of the wall in the photo. Below the glasses is simply a sloppy copy-and-paste job.
In the top-left circle you see a crappy and sloppy job with the ear.
In the bottom-right circle you see the reflection of a human face rather than of a monkey.
In this pic you see the first two of the main problems fixed. I imitated the wall behind the glasses by copying a small portion of the visible wall right next to where it is behind the glasses and applied a few filters to make it look realistic. I imitated nearby colors in the ear and removed the black around the edges. On the top of the monkey head I did a simple blur filter to make it look smoother. I also fixed the problem below the glasses.
In this pic I've added a reflection of the monkey on the tuba, rather than of a person. Admittedly, I could've done a better job with this, but this is what turned out in the five minutes I spent on this.
Feel free to replace it
