I'm reminded of the British-developed anti-mine robotic fish. When asked why the designers made it fish-shaped instead of sub-shaped, they replied that the shape of a typical fish has been refined through millenia, and who were they to doubt that kind of research?

Highly cool, Rochey. "We can rebuild him, make him stronger, more penguin-y..."

I've known that for quite some time. Comes in jiggers, too.

I think that's a measurement of liquor for mixed drinks.

Yeah, or colloquially a shot. I think it technically refers to 1-1/4 oz.
