Didn't we have a thread devoted to Wikipedia's worst 'domain free' profile pictures?

"Have You Got It Yet?"[edit]
"Have You Got It Yet?" is an unfinished song written by Barrett during the short time in which Pink Floyd was a five-piece. At the time, David Gilmour had been asked to join as a fifth member and second guitarist, while Barrett, whose mental state and difficult nature were creating issues with the band, was intended to remain home and compose songs, much as Brian Wilson had done for The Beach Boys; however, this idea was soon abandoned.[21][22][23]
Barrett's unpredictable behaviour at the time and idiosyncratic sense of humour[24] combined to create a song that, initially, seemed like an ordinary Barrett tune. However, as soon as the others attempted to join in and learn the song, Barrett changed the melodies and structure, making it impossible for the others to follow,[22][23] while singing the chorus "Have You Got It Yet?" and having the rest of the band answer "No, no!".[25] This would be his last attempt to write material for Pink Floyd before leaving the band.[25] In fact, Waters stated, in an interview for The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story, that upon realizing Barrett was deliberately making the tune impossible to learn, he put down his bass guitar, left the room, and never attempted to play with Barrett again. Waters had called it "a real act of mad genius".[22][23][25] The song was never recorded by Pink Floyd or Barrett.

I think there's a Bumble Hole nature reserve around there too. But it's the other side of Dudley and I've never been to it.
