I heard a rumor that Tux is a girl penguin

[slimdog360]

I always just assumed that tux was a guy but maybe I'm wrong. Is there any reason as to why tux couldn't be a girl? I can't think of any reason why not.

[lakersforce]

s/he is whatever you want her/him to be :D

[matthew]

Lol.

Girl penguins usually wear bows on their heads.

[Lucifiel]

No noo!!! :p

Tux is a chicken in disguise, I tell ya! :D

too right there's something wrong, how dare tux smoke! apt-get remove fags

But yes, tux is female for sure.

[jfinkels]

There would be something sort of...awesome, if tux was a girl. Sort of like how Alanis Morrisette was God in Dogma.

Remember... the "package name" you passed to apt-get there means really different things to different cultures. Not everyone will pickup on the context and see you're talking about cigarettes. :-)

Yikes, yeah :P

Stupid Americans!

Now, if Tux was a girl, that would be something like the first Metroid game :D

(But I beleive there is a girlfriend of Tux, and she wear a bow on her head or something.)

Tux has got a girlfriend in several of the Tux games.

I'm thinking that if the Tux was a girl, "she" would have sat with her legs together or crossed?

[ArtificialSynapse]

Yeah, Tux is obviously a guy.

Yeah, in supertux Tuxs girlfriend Gown gets kidnapped.

In British, fags is also a slang for cigarette.

[SZF2001]

I learnt that the hard way. While working, one Brit came up and said to me, "Hey mate, got a *** I can light up now?"

I'm all thinking... 'Holy **** this guy just wants me to give away gay people for him to burn...?"

I don't like our culture, to be honest.

Not necessarily...Linux is sexy...

you heard it here first: its perfectly legitimate to sleep with penguins, provided they're female

Not content with stealing the name football or changing the spellings of many things, your now trying to tell the world we speak British! wtf?

Maybe Tux is genderless?

[Rhox]

Does it matter?

Don't worry we speak English, Americans speak some form of warped localised variety that only they and the world bank officially use; everyone else uses proper English from England. although in this case it's english slang so not really a language problem.

Sorry if I caused offence but you really should know the difference between a biscuit and a scone.

Back on topic, not that it does matter but Tux is a mascot not a real thing... oh wait no there is a penguin in bristol zoo (uk) supported by the linux community called Tux who is male.

How is it more proper?

[borris.morris]

Well, Tux is like Linux, he/she is what you want to be. You could, "Customize" him/her.

Time to put Tux in a bikini. :popcorn:

[Hairy_Palms]

the thought of tux with a 20 deck of marlboro lights cracks me up ^^

[goumples]

Its Microsoft FUD

[beercz]

.. oh wait no there is a penguin in bristol zoo (uk) supported by the linux community called Tux who is male.
I didn't know this!

Don't tell me, there's a web site for this penguin right?

It wouldn't surprise me if there is a web cam for it either!

[Tundro Walker]

Tux is ambiguously hermaphroditic, just the way all the kids want to be these days. See, Tux really is the future! LOL!

Actually, we speak many warped localized versions. My cousins in Michigan cannot understand me, nor I them.


Onto Tux. I always considered that it was male due to the posture, demeanor, and the look of it.

[jimrz]

well she is kinda cute ;)

Yeah, whatever... :p

I though Britain came first and then America? ^^;;

Still, who cares, mate? It's just 2 languages and the English I speak is actually a mixture of both.
