There's a great Flickr slide show with some brilliant LOL Philosophers right here.
Here's one of my favorites:
And a link to a few LOLScientists was brought to my attention recently. Check them out here.
The Homunculus
Steve Higgins is a psychology graduate student at an online university. He hopes that the three weeks and $29.95 that he is spending on his Ph.D. will get him a job at a Tier 1 research university. Do online universities have postdocs? Ok...just kidding, Steve is a real graduate student at a real school.

There aren't that many people who both contributed to philosophy and worked solely in that domain - or even principly.
We don't have a lot of photos of Plato to run LOLmacros on.

I'm reasonably certain that that's completely false.
Anyway. I'm not that great with faces, so it's possible that they were there and I just didn't recognize them, but I think there are some pretty glaring omissions. No John Searle? No Saul Kripke? I mean yeesh, I'd imagine that Kripke would be particularly amenable to the LOL(x) treatment. There are so, so many jokes just begging to be made about rigid and flaccid designators, to say nothing of the myriad possible plays on something like "I'm in ur Wittgenstein..."
