But rhino's are UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUgly, we want something
cute, cuddly and furry here, how about a lion-cub it has strength,
speed and shows future strength, rather then looking back, it's
looking forward to the future. Put him (or her) in a jacket with the
Firebird database name on it. Who could pass a bin of stuffed
ones at a show, without picking up a couple..... Don't forget it's
really a marketing ploy here.

I think this thread should move to IBDI, before spanker gets mad.
