  • i didnt see it was a key at first and just saw a swazsticker at the bottom

    From a forum I frequent.

    The swastika has been used in its various forms over thousands of years, as a symbol of peace and well-being.
    Tarnished by its use in the second world war by Nazi Germany, the swastika remains one of the worlds most misunderstood symbols.
    Evidence of swastikas can be found dating from as early as 1000 BC in the form of coins and pottery from Troy. Swastikas have been used in cultures including China, Japan, India, England, America, Nepal, Africa, Greece, Finland and many others.
    The word "swastika" comes from the Sanskrit svastika - "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.
    Even in the early 19th century the Swastika was still a symbol with positive connotations. Indeed in WW1 the American 45th Division used the swastika, as did the Finnish Air Force.
    Now, the swastika attracts mixed views, opinions and emotions. After Hitler used this once peaceful symbol to spread hate and murder millions, many people have grown to hate the swastika and all that they believe it stands for, which is quite understandable. Many other people belive the swastika is a beautiful symbol and strive to restore its original meaning and reputation.
    In the body modification world swastikas are reasonably common, with many choosing to embellish their body with this symbol. A high profile supporter of the swastika is ManWoman. Manwoman is tattooed with hundreds of Swastikas and has published a book called Gentle Swastka. Xed le Head is an extremely talented tattoo artist working out of London Uk, who uses a lot of swastikas in his work, and is also decorated with them himself. Lucky Diamond Rich, the worlds most tattooed man, has also incorporated swastikas into his amazing body suit. The swastika even has its own myspace page, which contains an amount of information, and a number of interesting links.
