Seagulls are nasty dirty birds -- sailors call them "flying
bilge rats", and with good reason. They are probably as dirty
as chickens or pigeons.
Hmm... I liked the narwhal idea... same with the platypus.
Linux is a little bit unconventional (at least at this stage
in its existence), and a narwhal or platypus would reflect
that.
Sea (C) creatures in general are fun only becuase of the C,
so my vote goes for the narwhal. (Besides which, narwhals
can be fast and sleek, live in the north, and have spurned
stories of mythological creaturs (unicorns)). "What? free
Un*x with sources, on a PC? Get out of here !"
