Re: Mascot - Blue Arrara

In greek calling one a parrot means he repeats things he hears without
knowing what they mean (like students copying book paragraphs in exams). I'm
afraid we'll probably have to make a compromise at some point. :)

On top of that, even the gesture shown by the mascot (the palm, fist, a finger, two fingers, a circle, anything) will be considered offensive in some part of the world, so I learned a few years ago when OpenOffice.org selected a mascot [1]. So my personal policy is to ignore this, I am going to put the mascot in some indecent positions for my own use anyway.

PS: What's "arrara"? I tried finding it in wikipedia with no luck. "Ararauna" is
the closest thing I found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-and-yellow_Macaw

Yeah, that should be.
Parrot, macaw, ara - looking from the orbit all are the same :p
