Okay so it's Monday.

Here's some lunchtime humour...

Needless to say they're running linux!

And on the topic of why the penguin in the linux mascot...

> Linus Torvalds, the creator of the Linux Kernel, was visiting his friend
> Andrew Tridgell, the creator of the Samba suite. They were walking
> through the Zoo in Canberra when, without warning, a huge flock of
> vampire attack penguins dove out of the sky and tried to carry Linus
> away. Fortunately, Andrew had an umbrella. Still, one of the birds
> was able to nip Linus' hand with its fanged beak. Rumor has it that on
> moonlit nights Linus still runs out into the darkness and jumps,
> stark naked, into icy water. Of course, he's Finnish and may always have
> done this. In any case, this is why the Penguin is the Linux Mascot.

Enjoy,

Paul
