		I think the thing that gets me at the moment is that there was no actuall attempt at seriously reskinning the bird.  Someone just cluelessly slapped a new graphic on with no concerns about how texture mapping and skinning are actually done.

		Regarding the response of Californians to 50F weather, Peg and I long ago noticed how easy it is to identify the Rutgers students from California come late September/early October -- they're the ones in huge down parkas.  While the NJ-born students are still in T-shirts and shorts.
