I chose a different animal (a childish yellow dog) for ivrix.org.il :)
Linus pre-1.0 versions used to have a different logo, if I remember correctly-
a shark (look at http://members.ozemail.com.au/~gedau/shark.gif).

Anyway, human as logos/icons are out of the questions for religious Jews
or Muslims, and they probably look a bit weird to anybody. What humans should
we have on logos? Linus Torvalds? Alan Cox? Richard Stallman? These logos
are bound to be scary :)

Well, the common paradigm, as you call it, is that you should like everything
and everybody except when you have a very good reason to dislike it. I can
see why someone would dislike snakes, or even big scary dogs. I can see how
someone can have a favorite animal, and others are less-favorite. But how do
you get to *hate* all animals? Even fluffy chinchillas (call me if you want
to see one ;))? Even small dogs like Poodles? Sheep? Squirrels? Horses?
