What power animal have you chosen for the cover of your O'Reilly book? Alas, most of the good ones are gone already!

I'd like to suggest the Mantis shrimp because they have excellent vision, they're long lived and they pack a punch.

I haven't checked, but it's almost certainly not already used.

They have their menagerie online[1] so it's easy to check what animals that have been used already. Personally I think a sloth would be suited for a lazy language like Haskell :-)

Oh that has *got* to be used already! ;-)

I thought so too, but it doesn't seem to be. However, it seems the list I pointed to isn't complete. There's an O'Reilly book about OpenSSL that has sea lions and seals on the cover, however I couldn't find it among the titles. /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus.therning@gmail.com http://therning.org/magnus
