In Swedish it translates to "late walker" (?) and in Turkish it's
"lazy animal".

Meaning is same in Finnish, "laiskiainen", where "laiska" translates to 
"lazy".

A sloth bear is a kind of bear, not a sloth. Amazon also has some sloth
stuffed animals, too. If you get one that's reasonably large, then you
can get a lambda-imprinted Cafe Press t-shirt in an infant size that
would fit it.

Available in plush form:

Hi Maurí­cio

Great idea. I would love a toy one with a Lambda logo.

I found one on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Plush-Sloth-Bear-Cuddlekin-12/dp/B000FBLP76 , but
without the logo.

But we would of cause need one with Haskell logo printed upon it. I
could not find a place with user-definable textile printing (if that is
the right term in english) on plush sloth bears.


Greetings,

Mads
