I could not resist the opportunity to combine two great ideas and give
you the haskell octopus logo in attachment. It's a bit rough, but with
a bit more polish, what do you think?

Cheers,
JP.

Octopus?  I thought it was a narwhal orgy.

Nice try, but an octupus has eight arms, not seven.  What about the
remaining arm?

Or is that a logo of two octopi, one with four arms, and the other
with three?  Oh no, the poor octopi!


If it's an octopi, surely it should have 3.1415926... arms?  Where's  
the 0.1415926...?

slow and lazy... that's me, too. but haskell is not slow.


how about an octopus?

there are some kinds (or all?), which are more chameleon like than real 
chameleons; they can look like strange fishes, stones, or whatever.
they have a decentralized brain (like multi core), are really intelligent (can 
even open cucumber glasses, but probably not 100 bottles of beer) and are from 
the stronger types of animals; strong because they save their energy (glucose 
and oxygen) in their blood for times when they need it -- like being lazy but 
fast.
they can swim backwards and can squeeze themself through holes of the size of 
their own eyes -- reminds me of javascript as backend.
and they are funny and cool: they squirt water at you like dolphins -- the 
Quotes of the Week are funny and cool, too, but you have to wet yourself.

imho, you can compare them to handy parrots (but mute) with colour/sign 
language and chameleon features. and they know some ninja arts; inky, but 
ninjas are cool.
