Oh come now. When given the possibility of an emoji that says: "smiling man" versus one that says: "medium-light skinned left-handed man with blond hair and grey eyes who is a Capricorn and likes Chinese food and playing soccer, wearing a brown trilby hat and riding a blue motorcycle and using a computer, smiling slightly ironically with a big grin and a wink" you *know* the kids today will prefer the second. :-P -- Steve “Cheer up,” they said, “things could be worse.” So I cheered up, and sure enough, things got worse. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
