Hey pls change this moose logo (dead moose head with eyes being eaten by a fly) It really hurts the animal lovers. Whenever i login to the site ,i immediately scroll down so as not to see the logo.
I advice the moderators to change this logo with an alive smiling naughty moose logo
Thanks

if you're serious, this thread belongs in the JavaRanch forum.

if you're not, here is fine. I'm really not sure which is the case, however.

I highly doubt it will change after years of collecting dust on the wall.

True. Taking it down would leave a large discolored spot on the wall from the fading around it.

The moose is an old and treasured friend.

Besides, in order to take it down one would have to touch it. Ewwwwwwwwww!

Actually the moose is alive ! Many people (with poor eye sight) believe that it lost its eye. Its actually winking at you. The wooden frame is just so that people will be decieved into thinking its dead.

You know, it never occurred to me that the fly is eating the eye. Animal heads mounted on the wall always glass eyes, as they don't preserve well. I always assumed the fly was just buzzing around, and the eye had falled out of the trophy.

I keep looking in all the forums to find the one with the eyeball on the bottom, but haven't come across it yet...

The eye is in your beer.

The fly is not eating the glass eye. The fly is eating your sandwich. And when the fly is feeling full, the fly rests in the fly's house - which is in the skanky dead moose's nose.

Iteratively yours,
