Source:Where did tuzki come from? Tuzki was created by Wang Momo, the name "Tuzki" is an amalgamation of 'tu' and 'Zebatinsky'. When Momo was younger, she used to be called 'tu' by her friends which means 'rabbit' in Mandarin Chinese. Zebatinsky is a character from one of Momo's favorite books "请用“S”拼我的名字", translated, "Spell My Name with an S"
"Tuzki is a popular illustrated rabbit, created by Wang Momo of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute. Featured in a variety of emoticons, her character has become popular with QQ and MSN users. Motorola used Tuzki to promote the Q9h smartphone in Asia" - Wikipedia

So why smilies ??? They add a little more fun and flair to go along with the words people express. As confucious once said, a picture is worth a thousand words. So better looking expressive smilies probably worth a few more thousand words imho
Anyway while we are on subject of smilys, i suggest that like normal when you click create a post it has the smilies on the right side like it is now, but also have a box pop up to show the full selection of smilies. This way the whole screen isn't over crowded with smilies everytime you post. It only pops up the full thing when your selecting from a list like what Geekhack forum has.
