Interesting, whenever the discussion comes up to rename things, I propose that we should do the reverse: name things after animals. Instead of "George H.W. Bush Library Center" we could call it "Albatross Library Center". Obviously, naming things after animals leads to much less discussion. We can even choose fitting names (e.g., Gentoo Linux).

- vacuity 3y agoWe go with species such as the dodos. I mean, they're never going to be exposed as Nazis now!
