        Yes. Take a look at:

        Shifty-looking creature. It looks like something which would
be one of the "Beagle Boys" (a criminal gang in Disney comics). Anyway:

Competition: The Business Software Alliance's plans to name their
weasel mascot by holding a competition for school children has
obviously moved you, our beloved readers. Such a quantity of emails
flooded into Vulture Central that we felt it our duty to respond with
immediate action.

Accordingly, we have decided that we will hold a little naming
competition of our own, and will send the winning suggestion to the
BSA and insist that they adopt it forthwith or face legal action. 

 ...

Here are some suggestions to get your minds working on this one, taken
from today's letters bag:

       Popgoes (the weasel)
       Rip-off Rat
       Money-hungry mink
       Subpoena Skunk

You get the idea.

Email your suggestions to us here and we'll get the poll up next week.
