What's the derivation of PANDA?

"Now Improved with an actual Reply..."

A "Panda" derives from a Flickr photo group called "Bicycle Pandas" which (I
believe) was started by a user named "faster panda, kill kill".  It's
bascially a self-referential portrait taken while riding your bicycle.  If
you go to the group, there's a few discussions of the naming.   One of those
webbernet memes which has seriously stuck (in a small subset of a subset
kind of way.)
