I asked for the badger. Well, actually I asked for a slightly different (and cuter, IMHO) badger, but it didn't fit on the cover so nicely, or something like that. So we got the slightly more ratty looking badger instead of the cuddly one, but heck, it's still a badger. http://andywardley.com/badger/ This is the official reason that I wanted a badger: Badgers present a friendly, cuddly image that belies their inate power and ferocity. When provoked, they will take on an animal several times their own size, and often come out better off. But most of the time, they just like to forage in the forest for nuts and berries. I think this fits in well with TT's image. There's a lot of raw power on the inside, but it's wrapped up in a friendly package which makes it nicer to use. TT is all about building presentation layers that mask the underlying power, ferocity, and sharp claws of a typical web site/application/etc. But really, it was just for comedy value. :-) > "Never poke a badger with a spoon" Wise words. In fact, all cutlery and cooking utensils are best avoided.
