>   image below/on the left. To be on the safe side,
>   here it is in words:
>     * A rubber duck is yellow with an orange beak.
>       Other ducks are not genuine rubber ducks, only
>       inferior copies of the real thing.
>     * A rubber duck has to have good floating
>       capabilities. It should always swim head up.
>       Rubber ducks are no soakers.
>     * Unfortunately, rubber ducks are not made out of
>       rubber, but plastics is a good substitute, if it
>       is soft and regains its shape after deformation
>       the way rubber does. A rubber duck should never
>       have dents on its body; it should always have a
>       perfect shape.
>     * A rubber duck may squeak. But it is not a
>       required feature, only optional. A quiet duck is
>       just as good, except if the sound is an
>       onomatopoetic Quack!. A duck like this is
>       superior.

>   those who come into the bathroom. Make sure your
>   rubber duck stays happy by doing the following:
>        o Prime Directive: Take your rubber duck to the
>          bath with you at least once a month. For a
>          rubber duck a bath with its master/mistress
>          is heavenly and the reason to live.
>        o Habitat: The bathroom. Preferably on the
>          bathtub, but other spots in the bathroom will
>          do. A duck detests sudden changes in its
>          potential energy. So do place the duck in a
>          place where it is safe from falling down to
>          the floor. Don't put the duck in a place
>          which is close to a heat-source (a hot
>          light-bulb, for example) to avoid nasty
>          disfiguration. This will most certainly make
>          it furious.
>        o What ever you do, don't allow your rubber
>          duck to become dusty! Play with it. If you
>          don't know how to do that, let someone else
>          play with it.
>        o A rubber duck enjoys company. Buy more rubber
>          ducks, but other bath toys will do, too. The
>          favourite sport of the rubber duck is
>          synchronized floating :-)
