- Oh. I see. Never mind that the folks from the CND (you are ignorant of
- the British Campaign for Nuclear Disamament?), who I believe came up
- with the symbol, have said (as another poster said, used semaphore
- signals? And I suppose your Adversary (tm) arranged for that by setting
- up a ton of cultures that administered punishment, capitol and otherwise,
- by the cross? Goshawowie, what inCREDible planning. Seems to me that
- guy does better planning than your Big Guy, since their (gender-neutral
- second person term) plans work hundreds of years in advance, while the
- Big Guy's plans barely last a hundred years or so, before they go crashing
- down.

- Several thousand years ago, a small tribe of ignorant near-savages wrote
- various collections of myths, wild tales, lies, and gibberish. Over the
- centuries, these stories were embroidered, garbled, mutilated, and torn
- into small pieces that were then repeatedly shuffled. Finally, this
- material was badly translated into several languages successively.
