Does this remind you of anything?

Is that any better?

Does the first arrangement remind anyone of a certain Nazi army logo and will people take it the wrong way? Does the second one?

Clearer?

It looks nothing like an Iron Cross or a Swastika, if that's what you're worried about.

Yeah, it doesn't. It would have never struck me if you hadn't pointed it out.

1. Queezle - Her name doesn't come from anywhere, I don't think. I just made it up! It was kind of meant to make her sound nice. I feel a bit sorry that I killed her off so fast; she is an interesting character.

I thought you just made it by accident.

I thought it resembled somewhat like the Swastika. Even before you mentioned it.

Mind you it's only because just yesterday someone vandalized a "portrait" (portrait meaning hilarious stick figure) of another by adding a swastika. Though the swastika wasn't tilted, so it was a bit of a fail there...

The second one I only saw the swastika in it because I saw it in the previous one. I'm sure if I didn't look at the first one, I wouldn't have noticed the swastika-like shape.

Most people, I think, won't see the resemblance in the first arrangement, unless you have superior visual skills comme moi.

The second one will seem clearer to most, but even so it'll just look like random pieces of paper. As demonstrated by David.

For whatever reason, I prefer the first. Neither remind me of the Iron Cross, whereas the second gave stronger resemblance to the Nazi Swastika than the first.

De Stijl!

GINJA'S BACK!!! Read Shades of Grey yet? I haven't.

Well, it's kinda hard not to have a camera shadow when you're standing up and photographing something on the floor.
One related question to the original point of the topic.

What do the Brits think of the US and Canada?

YAY! OFF TOPIC TIME! Under 1 page, we can do it!!!
I hadn't realised shades of grey was out. Next book for reads!
Methinks Brits are surprised by Canada's massive amount of space. Small houses in Britain are far more expensive, so are essentials such as electricity. The huge landmassiveness of Canada means something that's "Just up the river" is 3 hours away. Which is why visitors to Britain are "just taking a trip to Scotland today" Fools. They'll never make it on crowded British motorways :P
The British dislike America for some reason, probably because of George Bush? There' a sort of an "Americans are stupid" stereotype here.
Britain mainly thinks of Canada as cold.

It's actually been rather warm recently. At least in comparison to what we usually have can around this time.
