A quick post regarding the swastika, discussed on page 2:
AFAIK the swastika is almost as old as mankind itself. AFAIK it's a symbol that depicts a spiral nebula, altough I dont know how they knew what a spiral nebula looks like. Maybe they were high on some really good ancient mushrooms, which took them on an OOBE through the universe, or light pollution wasnt exactly strong back then and you can see some of them with the naked eye, what the heck do I know.
But I'm pretty sure it's documented that the first drawings of swastikas are pretty darn old, from times we still lived in caves.
Something regarding the hitler/chaplin stache:
Try to shave a stache with a knife. (I almost exclusively shave with a shaving knife, its just the best way of shaving, trust me) When you try to remove the beard beneath your nose, you run in all kinds of problems. It's neither impossible nor that much of a problem if you'Re really careful, but I can DEFINETLY see how the moustache or the small hitler/chaplin moustache was so popular in times when knives were the most popular (or even the only) way of shaving.
Not a useful piece of knowledge, but I found it quite interesting when it occured to me one morning, while cutting my upper lip, how that particular beard probably evolved.
And last but not least:
I have no sympathy for parents naming their kid adolf hitler. No sympathy at all. "never forget" makes sense to me, but that is NOT a way to remember. Also, the little brat wont care whether or not there is his name on the fuckin cake. He is what? 3 years old? he cant even fooking read yet. Personally I wouldnt have sold them their cake with that name on it, either. Not because I despise seeing a cake with "Adolf Hitler" on it, not because I think it's wrong to make a cake like that (seriously, wtf, I have an adolf hitler mii who stands in the background, looking grim, when we wii-bowl... just for shits and giggles) but because I think the parents are proper dimwits, and I wouldnt want any customers that are able to be that cruel to their own child. Seriously, what WERE they thinking, when they named him? Were they even thinking? Do they EVER use their brains, in fact?
Those people truly HAVE to be idiots, and I pity the poor child, who will probably not like his parents very much once he gets into school. And if the things we know about generation conflicts are even remotely true, he will turn out an ultra left wing hippie, and quite frankly, his parents deserve that. I sure hope he will give them a LOT of worries, bringing home shopping bags of weed and snuggling around with non aryan girlfriends. (or better yet: jewish boyfriends!)
YOu go, little adolf, you drive them insane for me!
