Does that shape remind you of anything? Like maybe a famous historical symbol, usually displayed on large banners overlooking crowds of marching soldiers?

Hmm...

If it were blockier, it would really be a swastika(sp?)
In its current shape, it reminds me a piece of Predator equipment, probably a disc-like something.

Also useable as rather handy ninja weapons..

At this point, I'm asking myself did I expect anything less, and the honest answer is no. Good show Thunder, good show.

throwing those looks kind of awkward, imo.

[Knight Templar]

Nice shade of white as well.

[Deepblue]

Hehe, several people commented on that in the engadget article...

@Gustavo, yeah before the Nazis used it the swastika was a symbol for the sun and peace and extremely positive.

Just for fun:

I can't believe you posted 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!

[Grug]

Or a ride on mower blade.

Lol at Rictor's find. Rather strange co-incidence.

[FireCrack]

The "Symbol for peace" swasticka went in the opposite direction though IIRC.

[Anaz]

it's spelled "sieg heil", btw. sieg means "victory", heil means "hail".

as is, it looks like an AYB reference.

[Liberator]

Shouldn't it be "Heil! Zieg!" then?

[EtherShock]

Nope, it's another language. Not all languages are the same with the succession of words as English. I'm sure a one of our German representatives will chime in soon. I know Spanish doesn't sometimes. Now if only I could come up with an example.

Oh well, you'll just have to imagine.

I really dislike Microsoft. Why did they have to enter the console market? They don't have enough to rule the world yet?

I can't believe you had the balls to post that Deepblue! The swatstika is also used in Japan at some temples I believe. It's called a manji there. Remember that level in Zelda?

[Rictor]

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.

[Setekh]

Pretty much every Buddhist shrine I saw when I was in Malaysia (several dozen during my stay) had a lit swastika on it.
