[Frumple]

Doing some room painting mostly on request of family. Pull up carpet to keep it from getting, y'know, painted. Paint a bit. Notice the tiling-whatever that was under the carpet. Eight pointed stars. Takes me a bit to connect the dots. Finally clicks when I realize what I'm currently painting over is probably blood stains (not large ones, mind, but someone bled over that closet's wall a little, at some point).

So I blink, stare a bit, shrug my shoulders, give a half-hearted 'blood for the blood god', and go back to painting over the stains. For a moment, I think I really connected with what it would be like to be a janitor in the world of WH40k.

Is that an occult symbol or something? Because the dots are completely unconnected for me.

[Arx]

It's a Christian symbol of regeneration, rebirth, and thus related concepts like baptism. It's also almost certainly used by occultists, because it's a shape.

[Frumple]

The WH40k bit should have been a tip off. Mind you, yes, it's an actual religious/occult symbol as well, as Arx noted.

[Sirus]

The eight-pointed star is the symbol of Chaos in Warhammer lore (Fantasy and 40k). One of the gods of Chaos is Khorne, the Blood/War God. Khorne's followers are known for screaming "BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!" at the top of their lungs.

Mine goes to 10. It would have been 11, but then the symbolism and symmetry would be lost.

He-Man begs to differ.

Well beggars can't be choosers, now can they.

>.<  I thought this was the word association game

That happened to me once, and I only noticed three posts down the line...

Yo Snooty McSnotwhine, the Mona Lisa’s vanished eyebrows have been the subject of debate and analysis in the art expert community for hundreds of years, long before your parents squirted water at each other from across the clown car and then honked their bicycle horns to indicate they really wanted to make a smug, insufferable little clown baby together.

HOLY SHIT MICROPIGS ARE LOUD!

My wtf today, how nobody got that reference and actually took me seriously.

Look, contractors aren't stupid. They know when a job isn't on the up and up they tend to avoid those kinds of jobs. They might instead send a buddy in who-

Okay, I don't remember the conversation well enough to do a good reference, but it's Clerks, guys. He was very explicitly referencing Clerks.
