Or you could grab a web screenshot and make it a desktop and pretend that your desktop is a webpage. And, I'm sure, actually make your desktop a webpage if you so desired (I know you can in Windows!).

Actually it's called "Desktop background", as on Windows. Wallpaper is perfectly fine, though.

And let's not forget printing out your desktop background and making a bunch of copies and pasting them up on the wall as wallpaper!
