Maybe this boy was brought to Earth "to serve man"... he's highly evolved, and knows where the best delicacies in the universe lie.

OMG, *TWO* BUTTERSTICKS!

[wiki] says:

Tai Shan (Chinese: 泰山; Pinyin: Tài Shān, IPA:[tʰaɪˈʂan], popularly referred to as Butterstick) is a giant panda born at the Smithsonian National Zoological Park (National Zoo) in Washington, D.C on July 9, 2005.[1] [...]

Before he got a name, the cub was popularly referred to as Butterstick because immediately after his birth, a zoo worker described him as about the size of a stick of butter. The name caught on with bloggers, and became quite popular.

In fall 2005, the National Zoo announced that the cub's name would be chosen through an Internet poll. There were five names included on the poll; all were traditional Chinese names approved by the China Wildlife Conservation Association. "Butterstick" was not included as an option. Some bloggers protested this decision; there was even an attempt to hack the poll,[2] allowing voters the option of selecting the name Butterstick. Despite these efforts, the name Tai Shan, meaning "peaceful mountain," was eventually chosen, as it had won 44 percent of the 202,045 total votes cast. [3] The name "Butterstick," however, remains a popular nickname for the panda around D.C. and on many websites.
