A friend recently found an icon in his desktop file which showed a
bombing mac with an image of "5/28" as part of the icon.  He has a lot
of programs flowing through his machine, so it could have come from any
of a variety of public domain material.

There is no indication that this is a virus, but it also is no longer
clear what the icon belonged to.  For various reasons it no longer
exists in the desktop file and the original application that it
belonged to is no longer on the disk.

Has anyone seen this icon and know who owns it?  Anyone else have it in
their desktop file?
