Name The MySql Dolphin 367

Then they're going to record some dolphin sounds, so everytime we do anything in MySQL, we get to hear "eeeeee-eEeeEeeEee eeeeeEEeeeee"

Seriously, though, what kind of a logo is a dolphin for a database? When I think of dolphins, I think of these unreliable, playful creatures that basically live the life of riley, eating fish and playing tricks on sailors all day long. Whereas an elephant...well, they never forget, do they?

I can see it now:
In a surprise move the Mysql group has named their mascot "MS rules, use Microsft SQL server".
Very odd this will be.
