Not to mention that they are small, fast, efficient, and their
constant cleaning of their feelers corresponds well with "clean
code" I think.  They live (run) on just about anything.  I bet that
there were more than a few cockroaches in Berkeley when BSD was
being created.

Plus, with 6 limbs, a cockroach can operate more complex toys than
a penguin, where the latter has only 4 limbs.  Nevermind a constipated
fish...(^&
