I'm gonna try it out for a day, like Colt 45 is gonna try on creationism for a day.
So, what's an 'intermediate link'? Does anyone have any pictures I can take a look at?

If you are looking for transitional fossils here are several lists with links to other articles and pictures of the fossils: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_transitional_fossils

Every link is an intermediate link between the link before it and the link after it....
Look in the mirror--you are an intermediate link, just like everyone else.

You mean a transitional form or a transitional fossil. (The terms 'intermediate link' and 'missing link' are throwbacks to the concept of evolution as a *chain* (hence 'links' in the chain) rather than a constantly branching tree.
The wikipedia page mentioned by others is great.
For pictures you can look at:

Here is a list of our relatives :
Australopithecus ramidus - 5 to 4 million years ago
Australopithecus afarensis - 4 to 2.7 million years ago
Australopithecus africanus - 3.0 to 2.0 million years ago
Australopithecus robustus - 2.2 to 1.0 million years ago
Homo habilis - 2.2 to 1.6 million years ago
Homo erectus - 2 to 0.4 million years ago
Homo sapiens - 400,000 to 200,000 years ago
Homo sapiens neandertalensis - 200,000 to 30,000 years ago
Homo sapiens sapiens - 130,000 years ago to present
Before them, between 5 and 10 million years ago, there was our common ancestor with the apes. This is what is romantically called "The missing link".
But you can select any of them as an intermediate, and look for images in Google or Yahoo.
