Me as well - but I also like elephants, brown bears, robins, ...

As a german proverb says: one man's owl is the other mans nightingale
(s/man/woman/g - if needed).

I followed this discussion and always wondered if we really need an
animal as a mascot? What about an abstract symbol / artwork? E.g.
symbolizing the solar(is) system ("to eternity and beyond"), a
mathematical construct like a moebius strip, the projection of
multidimensional space?
