En espanol, adjectives follow subjects rather than lead them.

Example = Casa Blanca

Same in Russian.

Yes that's it! Derf! How could I forget something like that?

Kalf, can I just say that is the most ridiculously huge Shuriken I've ever seen in my life! Looks like she stole a Spinner from a Street-racing articulated lorry!

She's cosplaying Sasuke of Naruto... and yes, he has one that big. I was trying to find a picture of him with it but so far had no luck, she was the next best thing

Edit: Strike that, I found the picture

Yeah, it's a religious symbol, though it's facing the other way. The first time I walked into a museum and saw a huge state of Buddha with a swastika on the base, I got pretty freaked out.

A lot of the older churches (i.e Christian) in europe etc have swastikas as part of the design as well, IIRC.  Amiens Cathedral, for example, has a floor designed of tiled swastikas.

the swastika itself is a symbol of peace, and is far, far older than the third reich

anywho, the controller's nice, at least they didn't depart too far away from the design of the originals

Those controlers don't even look like a svastika right now...they look likea shuriken, a flower, a windmill, a wrench or a dozen other stuff..

Even if it looked like a svastike I couldn't care less..

Svastika DOES NOT EQUAL evil... it's a simbol that has many menings and to those who scream "natzi!, remove it!" Is say shtu your pie hole!

*whoosh*

all hail asea (or asea brown boveri as it's called nowadays), thy they had the swastika as a logo up until the 1930's.



there are still a few of elevators et.c. around with that logo.

which is somewhat ironic, seeing as the schindler group is a really big elevator manufacturer...

That advert is probably just the result of microsoft's viral marketing department. I reckon they made it look like a swastika so it would get spread round message boards and discussed...

[Deepblue]

lol!

Actually the point was that it goes 360* around... You can find similar pictures with the console.

You do realise you are completely overanalysing and seeing things that aren't there right?

 This thread is great. Nazi Gates is selling his 'Zig Heil box'. ^^

I'm impressed how popular 'Naruto' became btw.

I was joking...
