holy cow that was fast!
(oh, here\'s a bigger riddle...why would Linus Torvalds use GIF files on his homepage?)
what I\'m currently looking for is the story of the penguin that bit him...
(Edit: Alright, I\'ve been looking, and I think the story I read that determined the gender of the penguin was made up, since Linus himself didn\'t state the gender. Penguins being family-birds (i.e., mates are more like husband and wife than \"animal mates\" ), it could easily have been a defensive move from either. Oh well...guess we\'ll call him neuter....though Linus works for Transmeta.)
(Edit 2: Hmm, why does a quotation mark next to a paranthesis make a smily icon? -> \")
