   For me, I got to toying with the Penguin, but it came out somewhat
   amateurish:  It had a Penguin.  Smoking a cigar clenched between
   his teeth, and a mean look in his face, with frowning eyebrows.
   Red Hat on his head, of course.  And on his waistband, there was
   a Revolver.  You can picture it...and the implied threat of
   "don't f*** with me!"  Alas, I am not enough of an artist to
   make a go of it.

   But in the spirit of getting something going, here's the deal.
   If ANYONE creates such a creature as described above, and I
   like it, I will pay him $50 Fifty Dollars for it.  I will put
   in GPL for RedHatters or anyone to use.  The other entrants
   will get honorable mention.  I don't WANT the wide-eyed,
   docile looking penguin that looks timid and is just there
   waiting to be EATEN by Microsoft.  This penguin has to look
   mean, and a tough contender!  Couple of sizes:  Logo and Icon.
