    These guys should seriously consider a name change.

    How about Salsa? Cha Cha? Macarena? Merengue? Polka? Any on this list could be possible candidates.

    Tango is the name of a hemorrhoid creme from Ghana. It is built on a base of lime juice and mustard seeds. It contains crushed up sea shells and the ashes of recycled paper (including the occasional rusty staple). Another prime ingredient is Yak stool -- you've never seen a Yak with hemorrhoids, so it must work. Just be sure to get it fresh before the parasite eggs (ringworm egg casings help the healing process) hatch.

    The two projects definitely compliment each other nicely.


    Freedesktop.org: My, Tango! You certainly do look lovely today!

    Tango: Why, thank you! And allow me to say that I find your consistency bold and refreshing!

    Freedesktop.org: (blushing) You are too kind!
