Is it just me that sees a swastika every time I look at the map on the BBC news page?

Once you have seen it, it doesn't want to leave you.

Yes.

Is it just me that sees a swastika everytime I look at the gates of the Palais de la Justice? :confused:

Nope. I find the dodgy, untrustworthy figure standing in front of them more disturbing though.

Greater Germany, the Aryan Homeland, the Greater Pacific Co-Prosperity Sphere, the Muslim reservation (as a result of the services of the Handsar Division) and Greater South Africa?

It's only half a swastika. Anyway, if the BBC were Hinduphiles as you sugest then they would have given south asia a bigger area.

The ones on the gates of the Palais de la Justice are very obvious to me. But I think the gates have the excuse that they predate the 20th century.

Dunno about the swastika, but if you look at the middle of that map, you can definitely see the red terror that is sweeping Europe!

It's only half a swastika.

At least 75%.


80% if you count the small horizontal line on East Africa.

85% if you count the dark blue splotch of Asia Minor and its inferred line towards Scandanavia.

And here's where the completed swastika would be.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but 75% of the completed swastika is already there on the BBC page - the long horizontal and the long vertical forming a cruciform pattern, and then the top short horizontal, and the right short vertical, no?

I said half because the left hand side is the easily reconisable. they have the defining feature of the swastika. By your analysis it's like saying the crucifix is half a swastika, or that even a square is a half a swastika - half the lines are in place and the other half are in the wrong place.
