I did not know that, scket, and that's very interesting. That map, though -- Debian needs to invade more to get more land -- it deserves more than the mapmaker had given it. 
For those of you who don't know what the California flag looks like, it looks like this:

The original post might make more sense now to those outside the North American continent who might be unfamiliar with the California flag, The red stripe becomes black, lettering grey and the star becomes #! Oh, and it's Fozzie (a bear) and not another, more popular, Muppet.
[I've never found the font that quite matches the lettering on the original flag. If anyone wants to take a stab at it, go for it.]
I have to confess, this is not a new idea. Years ago, I made a flag for the Ubuntu California LoCo (which I have on a drive somewhere) that replaced the star with the Ubuntu circle logo, the bear was the same, the text read UBUNTU CALIFORNIA and the red stripe was orange. I don't know if they used it or not because I started distro hopping around that time and never went back.
All of which is to say, I need to get a hobby or get out more . . . .
