-----------------------------------------

Orca is fine, but a bad ass honey badger now owns my heart as far as mascots for OS projects are concerned :-)

> We need a totem for our t-shirt that is yet to be printed.  O'Reilly owns the Clyesdale.  We need something else.
> We could have a fluffy little duck that quacks 'hbase!' when you squeeze it and we could order boxes of them from some off-shore sweatshop that subcontracts to a contractor who employs child labor only.....
> Or we could have an Orca (Big!, Fast!, Killer!, and in a poem that Marcy from Salesforce showed me, that was a bit too spiritual for me to be seen quoting here, it had the Orca as the 'Guardian of the Cosmic Memory': i.e. in translation, bigdata).
