Ok, this is pretty much as far off topic as one can get, but I wanted to say welcome to my avatar, which I've finally gotten around to posting here. The picture is of Zippy, who is the mascot for The University of Akron.

Trivia time: We know Zippy to be a female kangaroo, but how? The answer is in the pic my avatar was taken from, which you can view at http://www.uakron.edu/news/uaImage.php .

Anyone who can figure out the answer gets an official Jon Gold Star!

Ok, now back to something meaningful!

Easy - she hasn't got a willy.












oops - sorry, I meant to say "She has got a pouch". Male 'roos don't need them.

She's got a pouch, which makes her one of the only female mascots in the NCAA (And she keeps stuff in there - you'll have to go to an Akron Game to find out).


As far as our athletics is concerned, I'm not a big fan. 90% of my general fees (as a student) go toward it, and the department I teach out of doesn't have any university subsidy (probably because of athletics) so I don't even have an office!
