      What about all the films and tv series with Red Cross emblems?
      Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!

        That's a strange twist of events, too, since the cross originally symbolised death.

          This is for real?

            Er, I was under the impression that it was modelled after the red crosses used by hospitals on ambulances, not the RC organization itself. Certainly not after anything Canadian. Nobody pays attention to Canada, for crying out loud.

                Hey, it's a good thing. If some kid gets hurt, he knows to look for red cross for aid.

                  Hmm. Doesn't the Red Cross have more urgent matters to focus on?

                  Besides, doesn't this fall under some sort of copyright rule where, if you don't defend it, you lose it? That's why so many companies send cease-and-desist letters out to various entities they think are violating their copyrights. Does the Red Cross do this as well?

                    He's name sure fits his job (and personallity).
                    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

                            Golly, maybe hospitals and ambulances are next.
