Wow, you need therapy, it's obviously a sea anenome! ;-)


Well maybe not..

If when I right-click on the icon, select properties,Change icon, and
take out my +3.50 glasses and squint just right I can make out, yes,
it the face of a gnu.  It has an earring dangling off its left horn
(or is that a bad 70's haircut?). 8-)

Hey, at least it's unique.
