I didn't realize Hindu's were "strange-religion-guy", being 1/7th of the planet and all.

OK, so Hindu isn't that "strange", but I tend to doubt very many Hindus have swastika tattoos without also falling into the "strange-religion-guy" circle on the Venn diagram...

(But I also fail because of the "not every neo-nazi has a swastika tattoo either" thing...)


Actually, the swastika is used to bless things in Hinduism. When my parents bought a car, they put a swastika on it while the priest prayed over it. I had to point out that they might want to move that indoors somewhere before they got reported to the police by someone who didn't know what they were looking at (when the Nazi's stole the symbol, they mirrored it).
