Is this related to water color? Maybe the people think Druplicon is an allien becuase the sky is also blue... (this is my Sunday question).

druplicon is a drop of water. large bodies of water are blue.
Actually...
..Drupalje (maybe the spelling is wrong) is dutch/flemish for rain drop, rain drops are blueish! hee hee

which all goes back to Dries story about wanting to name his original domain dorp.org and wound up with drop.org because of a typo.
If each of us are drops of water/rain, the collective of the entire community is a body of water.
Actually...
Drop or dorp is not dutch/flemish but drupaltje is! Further research on the collective term for lots of rain drops ...flood! Just ask the user Noah, I'm sure he will back me up!

Hmmmm, interesting take there. Let's research the actuality based on Dries' own words, shall we?
.... with reference to dorp/drop/drupal = http://buytaert.net/state-of-drupal-presentation-march-2009
Dries takes the stage around 2 mins 17 seconds and talks about the story of how "Drupal" came to be shortly thereafter. Which is the same explaination found here: History of Drupal for those who prefer to read rather than watch a vid.
I don't claim to be an expert on the dutch language. I can only take Dries' own words as the definition. I tend to put stock in his explaination because he is the original creator of drop.org and what eventually became known as drupal. What you are stating (even if noah materializes) seems to go against what Dries himself states in multiple videos, interviews and documentation found on d.o and on the internet in total.
Quoted for posterity from the History of Drupal documentation page:
Dorp > drop > druppel > drupal
Even without Dries' explanation (which I didn't know of before your post) I thought it would be something like this. Although pronouncing "druppel" as "droo-puhl" immediately tells us you are English or American :)
I'm glad he made the original typo, building sites in Village couldn't be half as sexy as building them in Drupal :)
