Today my wife and daughter bought a gecko. A freakin' gecko. My daughter named the gecko "Angel" - which has nothing to do with lizards or any of the myriad of reptilian species.
Geckoes are as close to a pet rock as one can get - all Geico commercials aside. I am convinced that Geico chose the gecko as its spokes-lizard only out of linguistic convenience. The gecko, by my observation, has nothing to do with insurance, doesn't represent insurance in any way, and is the last thing you would think of when thinking of insurance.
That said (and I said it, didn't I?), Angel is a pretty low maintenance pet. Eats live crickets. Crawls under a rock. Comes out to cool off. Eliminates.
Now, it's hard to imagine that as a species, the human animal is part lizard - until you realize that nearly 60 million people voted for George W. Bush a second time. This makes us a country of geckoes led by THE BIG GECKO himself.
Sources within the Whitehouse note that actually Karl Rove is the top gecko. This accounts for his uncanny ability to appeal to the gecko in so many Americans, who, in spite of what they say, spend their days under rocks and eliminating.

We should never give GWB the distinction of having the abilities of a Gecko much less anything related to even the brain capacity of a Horse Tail worm. Everything about the pus eating worm is the antithesis of what is the great potential of the human species. The puppeteers that control him are by far more intelligent but are caught up in an ideology that denies creative interchangeability to advance towards solving problems outside of the narrow constraint they have imposed on themselves. This all is going to be our demise on this planet. The Gecko is a unique creature worth the study of a beautiful child fascinated with natrure but is certainl not homologous enough to satisfy so-called advanced creatures who have a propensity to want to destroy anything deemed inferior to itself.
