By the way, (totally off-topic, of course, my apologies): what do all
y'all call the "@" operator? Here in the States, we call it the
"at-sign", which I find boring; I believe "sleepycat" is a
Scandinavian thing (I picked it up in some long-forgotten article);
some Russians refer to it as собака ("sobaka", dog) - again because it
looks like an animal with its tail curled up.
In German we call it 'Klammeraffe' - which means 'spider monkey':

Don't know why, perhaps also because of it's long tail
