"This triceps means divine power. According to the Anglo-Saxon tradition it was originally a Nordic sign. We can see that it is similar to the preceding entry sign, with the addition of equilateral triangles at the end of each arm.
The giant Japanese Mitsubishi Group has taken this sign as its logotype.
Compare with , which is composed of two triceps of this type joined in a circle and is used as the logo for a radio and appliances sales chain."

For all to know that is one of the pic's for the movie 'Da Vinci Code' coming out this weekend.

THE DA VINCI CODE FACTS

In Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon (Tom Hanks) is summoned to the Louvre — a museum employee has been murdered. Near his body is a strange cipher. To solve the riddle, Langdon joins with the victim's daughter, French cryptologist Sophie Neveu (Audrey Tautou), and learns of a centuries-old conspiracy surrounding the Priory of Sion, a secret society dating back to the days of Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli and Leonardo Da Vinci. The brainy duo must race through Paris, London and elsewhere to solve the puzzle and the ancient conspiracy before the answer is lost forever.

well at least you three guys have a sense of humor! I'd like to find out the history of the diamond star. I heard they represented the propellers on the japanese zero. Mitsubishi apparently made the engines(I can't imagine what lifter tick sounded like on those guys) for the light but deadly aircraft during the second world war. anybody have more info? And i'm not here to convert anyone to mitsubishiism, enough of you are already devout to it.
Yeah, the planes probably broke down in mid-air, accidently causing the invention of the japanese kamekazi.
