Years ago, when I was still in my first office, my colleague and I both had a stuffed Tux, the Linux penguin.

My colleague’s was a bigger one, tall enough to fit nicely inside a size-10 shoe box. And in fact, I did put it in a shoe box, and decorated it such that it looked like one of those red Chinese altars with a deity sitting in it. And I stuck it high on our office wall.

It eventually fell off the wall after some months (the duct tape couldn’t take the weight), but not before bringing a lot of smiles to our visitors’ faces.

As for my smaller Tux, I stuffed it inside a narrow glass:

Now it sits nicely on my office desk.
