I can't remember if the penguin came with Vue or was a freebie. However....check it out. Whoever mapped this !@#$ thing put a face ob it's belly :O....Just the weirdest darn thing I've ever seen..thought I'd share.

"lol" you have found a penquin easter egg. :o) For the ones who don't know what that is, its hidden code in software that the coders hide in it.

Well... it is not really an easter egg, or even a face but most likely an unfortunate accident. We are wired to recognize faces in anything we look at. This just happens to look like one.

If I blow it up larger you can see eyes/nose/mouth/hair. Now if this had been Saturday night......;) I might have agreed with you Agiel ROFL.

You could take the penguin .bmp file, put it into your paint program, and smudge out the perceived head and torso. This looks like a digital signature to me.
