What has happened to Duo? I've heard of "cross-eyed" but this is ridiculous!

Re: Three eyed green owl
Bit of random fun factness...
The pineal gland is sometimes referred to as "the third eye". The word pineal, from Latin pinea (pine-cone) in reference to the gland's similar shape, was first used in the late 17th century.
The pineal gland is present in almost all vertebrates, but is absent in protochordates in which there is a simple pineal homologue. The hagfish, archaic vertebrates, lack a pineal gland. In some species of amphibians and reptiles, the gland is linked to a light-sensing organ, variously called the parietal eye, the pineal eye or the third eye. Reconstruction of the biological evolution pattern suggests that the pineal gland was originally a kind of atrophied photoreceptor that developed into a neuroendocrine organ.

Re: Three eyed green owl
Yep, three-eyed Duo is with us now. And then occasionally there's melty-face Duo.
And the one that irritates me the most is angry-mean-devil-face Duo that shows up at about 10:30pm if ya haven't completed a lesson yet...NOT motivational at all.

Me too, but I don't bother to change it. The ugliness of the icon may reflect the company's new corporate philosophy?

That made me laugh out loud.
