It's 'Hardy Heron'... not 'Hungry Hungry Hippo'

So... the world is made to know already what Ubuntu 8.04 will be named: it's 'Hardy Heron'. This choice has a good and a bad side to it.

First the good one: it made me dicionary-lookup the 'heron' word (and stealthily confirm the 'hardy' one, since I wasn't completely sure about its meaning any more).

The bad one: I lost my secret bet about the next codename (which was 'Hungry Hungry Hippo').
