With the popular Red Devil mascot frequently being challenged throughout the country, the origin of Duke's Blue Devil is one of the most often requested items of information in the University Archives. Questioners are universally surprised to discover its origin is more military and patriotic than religious." http://www.phillyburbs.com/devil/sports.shtml Why are you playing into what religious people think? Is Duke changing their mascot? You're giving in to ignorance at no benefit to the OS itself. The only perceived benefit is that ignorant people wouldn't be offended. Fantastic. Now you have them as your user base. - jt
