Good point, neither the 16 ton weight or a plain-jane snake are 
anywhere close to complying with the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines.  
However, IMHO, it'd be a lot more fun to make a Aqua-HIG compliantish 
icon with a snake (i.e. something like the script editor icon, with a 
snake instead of the 'scroll') than with a 16 ton weight!
