Pink Floyd put a picture of Hitler in his sig. I personally don't want any newcomers to think we're Nazis here.
I have to admit when i first saw it I cracked up laughing. I think it's funny. It makes a complete mockery of him.
Anyways, you may ask how does Hitler eating a watermelon relate in any way to Ancient Egypt? Well here's how!
Stan Rice (husband of the famed author Anne Rice) is a poet and artist. One his paintings is called "Hitler denies to six million jews the watermelon of life. Here is an excerpt from a review :
"...For instance, the most recent painting in the show, Hitler Denies to Six Million Jews the Watermelon of Life, is a pastiche, a collage featuring the painted central image of an elderly Jewish gentleman strikingly like Albert Einstein in front of a huge red watermelon slice. The watermelon is like a memento of the rural South–all flanked by a photo of Hitler and fans, scene of a hanging, etc...."

Stan Rice did another painting called False Prophet. The subject of this painting may look familiar to some of you.
It is the famous mummified babboon from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo!
So you see for once Pink Floyd (or whatever his name is this week) really did post something to do with Ancient Egypt afterall, even if remotely linked!
