The fish has some fascinating implications. Because it looks like the 
`Jesus-fish' AKA Icthyos (no Greek letters in this charset), the implication 
of Linux as a religion is there (to cause the Borg Infidels to quail? :-).

Because it also looks like the `Darwin' Icthyos ripoffs, the implication of 
Linux as evolution is there. Linux is special to evolution in several ways, 
including that it demonstrably works using a Darwinian process (label Linus 
`natural selection' and you're off to a running start) and that unlike real 
life species development the end result is constantly improving.
