· 4 messages · 28 Aug 1999 - 30 Aug 1999
Is there a proper name for the symbol used in the "Millennium" TV show of
a snake in a circle eating its tail? And could someone make one? Maybe 10-15
lines? Thanks.

The proper name for such a thing is called "Oroborous" (or "our Rob, or Ross" as thought Lister from Red Dwarf) http://homepage.eznet.net/~madlynch/main.htm for more info. -- Andrew

I can't vouch for it's correctness, or even if it's the same symbol we're talking about!) it's called Ouroboros. The symbol of infinity, the snake eating it's own tail. And thre reason this is off topic? No pic... sorry. Kind Regards, -Martin |\/| _..__|_o._ /\_|_| o._ _ mart.atkins@-- | |(_|| |_|| | /--\|_|<|| |_> --bigfoot.com
