Sorry, but I find all of this very upsetting. Do you mean this?
„Aber Linus wollte keinen x-beliebigen Pinguin. Sein Pinguin sollte
glücklich aussehen, so als hätte er gerade eine Maß Bier genossen und
den besten Sex seines Lebens gehabt. […] Er sollte unverwechselbar
sein. Deshalb […] hat das Linux-Maskottchen einen orangefarbenen
Schnabel und orangefarbene Füße, so dass es wie ein Pinguin aussieht,
dessen Mutter eine Ente war. Als hätte Daisy Duck sich auf einer
Antarktis-Kreuzfahrt vergessen und einen wilden One-Night-Stand mit
einem einheimischen Federvieh gehabt.“ – Torvalds, Linus: Just for Fun
S. 151
( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tux_%28Maskottchen%29 )
Automatic Translation:
But Linus did not want any old penguin. His penguin should look happy,
as if he had just enjoyed a mug of beer and had the best sex of his
life. [...] It should be distinctive. Therefore, [...] has the Linux
mascot an orange beak and orange feet, so that it looks like a
penguin, whose mother was a duck. As Daisy Duck would be forgotten on
an Antarctic cruise and had a wild one-night stand with a local
poultry.
