Someone on our team did bring this up a couple of weeks ago, but I have to admit, it was after we'd named the project Kangas.

Originally, Kangas was just the working name of the project (our research team's mascot is the kangaroo). When we finally decided to put our heads together and name the project something "official," we'd all grown a bit attached to Kangas and it stuck.

I do wish I could pass myself off as worldly enough for that reference though :)
