Not bad :)

He was infact _bitten_ by a Little (Fairy) Penguin at Sydney Zoo while
visiting Australia for a Linux conference in the mid 90s.  He joked about
subsequently getting "penguinitis" and being forced to put penguins
everywhere :)

I recommend anyone visiting Melbourne, Australia try to get to Phillip
Island to see the Penguin Parade.  Quite amazing.  There is plenty of
other stuff to do on the Island as well.
