I just read a hilarious interpretation of what would happen if the Chimera and Phoenix development teams merged, and I thought I'd share it before I go to bed:

The Phoenix README says:
Q8: What about OS X?
Chimera is the top gecko-based browser for OS X.
We do not intend to compete on that platform.
Chimera is here [mozilla.org]. It might be nice to see Chimera and Phoenix share ideas, programmers, resources, and code, but both projects seem to be doing OK so far as separate entities.
Besides, if they merged the projects, they'd have a very confusing animal for a logo: flaming bird with the head of a male lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a snake: a 'phimera'.
Since the new project would also be Mac OS X -native, they really should also crossbreed this new 'phimera' with Hexley [hexley.com] (the Darwin mascot), a duck-billed platypus with horns. The result would be a horny duck-faced lion with a goatee that lays flaming serpent eggs midair.
I think you can see now the grave importance of keeping these two projects separate.
Why this isn't modded +5 Funny I have no idea. [edit: why does 'oe' sound like 'ee'?...]
