  2. Forgot to say, I've never seen one with a face. So it may be the three legs of wherever you found it!
    I.O.M. has the oldest parliament in the world and lies in the Irish sea just off Liverpool.

  3. That is a triskelion and the one you've got in the picture is properly called a Sicilian triskelion. Please check this out for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion :-)

  14. It looks a little feminine to me and, I must admit, the first thought that came to mind was "she's a leggy broad". I wonder what a psychologist would say about that...

comments are the new black. so be trendy and leave one.

what is, however, not trendy, is if your comment contains an ad or a link to a spam website. those, like white shoes after labor day, will be deleted.
