LOL. They say that a camel is a horse designed by a committee. In IT these days it seems that the camel is replaced by a 30-foot Platypus- after all, a giant venomous, duck-billed, beaver-tailed, otter-footed creature must be what everybody wants, because it is a mammal that lays eggs. Wow! Who would want a cantankerous camel when you can have a giant egg-laying Platypus?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
