In praise of penguins

In her recent New York Times Op-Ed entitled "The Dead Tree Theory", Gail Collins offers this praise for penguins:

... everybody likes penguins. They march; they don't fly into airplane engines ...

What's not to like?

She was proposing a logo/mascot for the economic recovery effort. Her final suggestion:

Joe Biden -- Dressed like a penguin.

She didn't mention anything about open source.
