Okay, so we're up to Karmic Koala. But what happens when Ubuntu hits those odd letters, like Q? ...Quirky Quail?

And what animal starts with an X?

That would be interesting. Then "What's a Xanthareel" threads would pop up everywhere. xD

But I guess the one-size-fits-all xylophone wouldn't really work, lol.

Xylophone cat, huh? Sounds interesting. Does it play music when you hit it?
