Dear all, browsing through the suggestions, I have the impression that the general direction is towards an animal from New Zealand (I guess because of the roots of R). But since the R Foundation is now located in Vienna, Austria. What about a typical Austrian animal? Is there one? Maybe a "Wolpertinger". A Wolpertinger is a fantasy animal which is a rabbit with the antlers known from deer and some wings from a bird. In addition to the "Austrian headquarters", another reason for such an animal which does not exist in reality (or does it???) is that coding something with R is sometimes so easy that it appears to be almost unreal. What do you think about this idea? Best, Roland P.S. A picture of a Wolpertinger can be found at the bottom of the page: http://www.einsamer-schuetze.com/krypto/fabelwesen/wolpertinger/wolpi.ht ml +++++ This mail has been sent through the MPI for Demographic Rese...{{dropped}} ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
