Wow, You are one of my favourite devs, surprised that not many know of your return. EDIT: Maybe post about it on r/linux or so, reaching more of your fans as I was very pleasantly surprised to see this

How about "Software Simian"?

"The fact is, that among his hunters at least, the whale would by all hands be considered a noble dish, were there not so much of him; but when you come to sit down before a meat-pie nearly one hundred feet long, it takes away your appetite."

Moby-Dick

Herman Melville

I've had whale when I went to Norway.

Was it good? It was OK. Would I have it again? Probably not.

Still a nice experience. Also trying cured reindeer, moose and seal slices was pretty unique.

Whale meat is so iron rich. Basically eating liver.

Now reindeer steak — that’s excellent!

I recall having whale on a regular basis when I was college in Japan in 1968-69. I liked it, though its grey appearance wasn't appealing. I was always struck by how much it resembled meat in both texture and taste.

It literally is meat. It's a mammal!

To clarify: animal meat. I had a feeling this clarification would pop up...

A whale is an animal...

Sigh. OK. 4-legged.

mollusc [sic]: 'An invertebrate of a large phylum which includes snails, slugs, mussels, and octopuses.'

Mollusc is a perfectly legal way of writing mollusk if that's what you mean. And everyone knows that whales evolved from hungry beach snails around 50mya.
