-	''"It was a pleasent day on the #compsci.ca channel. The sun was shining, the birds were chriping, and [[wtd]] was perverting our young, moldable minds with his newest coding discoveries. There was some talk of wtd's handel (which is really "What The Duck", not "Welcome To Darwin", no matter what wtd will tell you.) ~~[[Coutsos]], in his creative genius, hit upon the idea of me using a [[pirate]] duck avatar.~~ wtd did some quick ninja googling, and within seconds showed us the way: iloveduckies.com. I added the eyepatch to the "Buccaneer" duck, and uploaded it. I created a signature to go with it. By the next day, Coutsos had finished his [[ninja]] duck, which was modified from the buccaneer. It was fantastic. Still is. Within a day, Cornflake adopted his duck avatar and made a post in Off Topic about the take-over. I suggested that I would delete all posts in that thread by non-ducklings, but that turned out not to be necessary: within a few days, we had a good portion of active CompSci.ca members with duck avatars, including [[Tony]], who had previously held his [[devil avatar]] for all eternity. [[Hacker Dan]] also joined the revolution, and enthusiastically too. He traded in his old avatar for a robotic duck, and later created a [[rotating quotes system]] for the benefit of all humanity.''"	+	''"It was a pleasent day on the #compsci.ca channel.
