gollark: I like the new logo, it has a nice color.
gollark: What could POSSIBLY go wrong?
gollark: I mean, I like reptiles, I have a gecko, but a snake doing that is... still kind of scary.
gollark: I mean, you could rotate it, but that would surely add even more !!FUN!! problems.
gollark: I have no idea then. Unless you can move it overland on some kind of giant platform thing, or something like that.
