The skin, I couldn't remember, was "Green Machine" by Mercury.
Grayhaze, A couple of years back, another popular WB artist, coincidentally by the name of Mercury, ported a Kaleidoscope skin. This was not received to well by the Kaleidoscope community.

I think everyone stood back and waited to see if this would become another Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First?"
