Actually, penguins are usually liberals. But Jewish penguins get mugged by reality a lot.

Actually, I just figured you had dumped your Mac love and gone linux on us (The Penguin is the symbol of Linux).

Of course he had to have a Jewish flavor.  But on the icon, you cannot tell he is wearing a yarmulka.  It just looks like a pointy geek head.   So it is good we get to see a full picture of him with his Star of David.

fortunately, I only eat cats, not birds.

It was the other way around actually.

I went from OS/2 to Linux (to BeOS to PowerPC Linux) to Mac OS X. I got some penguin stuff with my first Linux distributions and since my family have a strong zoological thing going, my mother kepy buying me penguin stuff (I have blankets, t-shirts, shoewer curtains, bath towels, all with penguin pictures).

I thought the yarmulke was visible. There is a line between the black yarmulke and the black head. Maybe it's only visible if you expect it to be there.

The big nose is Jewish.

I am a total geek, although people tell me that online I come off as somewhat corporate and correct. Anyone who knows me personally know that unless stopped I just won't stop talking about four basic subjects: linguistics, computers, comic books, and how life keeps surprising me.

You know, you always reminded me of Alf, even without the picture. I loved that show.

I thought it was a Terrasaur when I first saw the image.

You see the line in the icon, but it looks more like a bone on the back of the head.  The larger picture made it clear what it is.  Now that I have seen the larger picture, it will always look like a Yarmulka.

Yep.
