<p>I'm used to (on the east coast US) hearing lambda pronounced "LAM-duh." "Duh" is an expression of something being stupid, so I don't know about Haskell having a mascot called "Duh the Lamb"!</p>

1. The Curry Da mascot looks like a penguin disguised as a lamb. I have nothing against penguins !<br></blockquote><div><br>Hi Jerry, thanks for your input. The reason to have the the lamb standing up is just so he can be dressed, and it does have similarities to a penguin with its round belly, I suppose.<br>

2. Da, da, konech'no, mais, Signori und Demoiselles, do you realize that "lamb" is an English word, and we should think about our multilingual society. with our agneaux and other Karakuls. You will have problems with the translation of the mascot into German, and some may find some analogies with another image:<br>

called "Ein liebliches Lämmlein zu Tod" (after Des Knaben Wunderhorn, in the last part of Mahler 4th Symphony).<br>

3. On the other hand, from the cultural point of view, this is a very good idea, and quite international, everybody knows Lamb Curry (Rogan Josh):<br>

<br></blockquote><div><br>Some might picture a symphony or what looks like newspaper origami when they hear Da, and some might picture food when they hear Curry. I like Da because its simple and "Da the lamb" rolls smoothly off the tongue. Probably best to open a poll to and let everyone decide.<br clear="all">
