pne: A picture of a plush toy, halfway between a duck and a platypus, with a green body and a yellow bill and feet. (Default)

I was just reading an entry in the "We hates software" mailing list in Gmail and an ad caught my eye -- "Toad for MySQL freeware".

And the link indeed went to toadsoft.com, so it was legit (which surprised me a little, since the original Toad costs mucho dinero AFAIK), but what amused me as well was that "Toad" stands for, I believe, "Tool for Oracle Application Developers".

Which would make this freeware product "Tool for Oracle Application Developers for MySQL". Shouldn't it be called "Tmad" then, instead? :)
