    Zebra ... too carnivale I think. Now .. Zap - Us! That's going to be a wing-dinger .. ya know .. Frank Zapus and the Mothers of Contention ...ehehehe jk

    So... is more than one Zapus correctly called Zappii or Zappuses and also .. be careful if the police approach you and ask- 'Whats that you are carrying in your hand?" and you answer - "Zapus" and then get tasered

    Regards..

    Perhaps zapus is foresight in that this one will sting a little.

    If it gets together with the Xfce mouse, will it have a litter of phone apps?

    I seem to recall that about 10 years ago, or so, an august university body that had the erstwhile role in life of examining and formulating 'rules' for the English language deemed that 'i' ending for plurals was no longer to be followed. Thus, when meeting a group of '-us' animals at the local watering hole they should be addressed as platypuses, octopuses and I guess, zapuses.

    I fear humans are doomed.

    I think Mark is a genius at creating this stuff. I think that with containers (Libertine), mir and unity8 we are going to have a zesty time with zapus and , yes , even all the Zapuses jumping from our tablets and into our desktops or vis a versa
