What images could I use?

So going back to my post about pow.png, I find myself in the odd position of hosting an image file that occasionally shows up in the comments section of freerepublic.com.
Now, wanting to tweak the freepers, and considering that I have at my disposal the full power of mod_rewrite (which would, I suppose, allow me to redirect to a cgi script, and could therefore do anything), I ask you: what should I do?
I'm thinking that really effective tweakage would require me to replace pow.png only selectively; say, once per day per client IP address, and of course only if the referrer setting was either missing or something on freerepublic.
For instance, what should pow be replaced with in this thread?
I was also thinking that before I did this, I'd place nice little circle-C mark on pow.png, just to make it absolutely clear when someone does rip it that they're committing copyright violation. Not that they're likely to care, but people should at least make their own stupid little word balloons. It's not hard.
Update: I was lazy, and just went with the antimagnet image. I also haven't put a little circle C on pow.png because, well, what I really want is to annoy the freepers out of my access logs, and I don't think it's worth it going to extraordinary lengths to beat them about the head. Besides, the circle-C hasn't been required to confer copyright for years.
