OK, I'm going to send this to the list because I want everyone to see the
most logical take on this. I allready told Dan this btw.
Who here has seen the commercial where the penguin is singing "Do be do be
do" into like a speaker, and trying to scare people in the house, so that
he can get their beer (I think Bud Light, but I'm not sure). Probably, the
name of the damn penguin was Willy or something, and a programmer thought
it would be funny to toss it in there, and just kinda left it in the ROM.
