Why? This is not useful for anything at all. (At least to my knowledge)
"Who would say that pleasure is not useful?" ~ Charles Eames
You're correct, however I would not consider nerd selfies as pleasurable. Not Useful.
You might not. Others do, apparently.
Making contributing code more fun will almost certainly lead to projects receiving more contributions.
Obviously the top graphic (Octocat as Mega Man) needs to be a t-shirt. Sooner rather than later.
Couldn't agree more. I got it from the excellent collection here: http://octodex.github.com/
So many of those beg to be t-shirts.
Unfortunately, from the FAQ[1]:

Q: Can I create a product containing an octocat?

You may not use an octocat, created by GitHub or by you, for products or merchandise without written permission from GitHub. This includes, but is not limited to t-shirts, toys, stickers, etc.

This is really cool, what would be even cooler though is to have them in commit messages. Sadly though, GitHub does not allow images (or very limited markdown) in commit messages. :/
but what if you're one of those devs who likes to work naked ?
I assume you do keep the camera roughly on your face while working.
