First -- yes, I would love to see Terry the Tinfoil-Hatted Terrapin become our mascot. We've got a very businesslike logo; a mascot is an opportunity for playfulness. And what better way to poke a little good-natured fun at ourselves?
Second -- okay, if the Tinfoil-Hatted Terrapin strikes a little close to home (maybe some of us *are* terrapins: certainly, though, no one on this list could ever be accused of wearing a tinfoil hat), I'd propose something else entirely: the coelacanth. Why? Well, because I've got this really weird and inexplicable fondness for them. They're a fish that's been around for 400 million years or more, has basically given evolution the middle finger and dared Darwin to kill it off more times than a Bruce Willis action movie, and ... well ... it has *style*. The coelacanth also suggests Time, big-T Time. (Like 400 million years' worth.) Given how often we wind up talking about brute-force analysis and the megayears and megatons required and how much of an extinction-level event it would be, a fish that's survived four hundred megayears and several mass extinctions would be ironically appropriate. Here, have a cool photo of a coelacanth: http://bio1151.nicerweb.com/Locked/media/ch34/34_18Coelacanth.jpg _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
