Why do people's icons appears up side down and sideways?

I have seen several that sometimes appear up side down and sometimes not.  Some appear sideways.

At first I thought people were just trying to be artsy and clever.  But since some of them sometimes change I'm wondering if it has something to do with back end rendering.

@Joshua Dorkin 

Here's my question...

My picture is right side up.  It only appears upside down, when accessing the site on a mobile device.  Why?  ;-)

@Hattie Dizmond - I'm not certain about that.  Your photo looks fine to me.  It may be cached on your mobile. Clear the cache and see if that helps.

I am on my iPhone and your picture is upside down in this thread. It only happens when I access BP on my phone or iPad never my computer.
