Isle of Man National Symbol
The National Symbol is the Three Legs of Man, first officially used in the early fourteenth century on the Manx Sword of State. The legs, clad in armour and bearing spurs, run in a clockwise direction and bear the Latin motto 'Quocunque Jeceris Stabit' or 'Whichever way you throw it, it will stand' - a testament to islanders' independence and resilience. The Three Legs also appear on the Manx Coat of Arms, flanked by a Peregrine Falcon and a Raven.
The source of the legs emblem is subject to many theories including the legend of the Island God Manannan, who is said to have set fire to the Legs in a fit of rage and hurled them down the hill in a burning wheel. The Legs are also related to Sicily's emblem of three naked legs surrounding the head of Medusa, and the swastika, both of which can be traced back to pagan symbols representing the Sun.

KuKu klubi 75
Teen selle postituse juba sellepärast et ei peaks eelmist pilti vahtima.
Käisin reede öösel Kuku klubi juubelil, mis kujunes väga meeleolukaks tansulkaks. Vanad mehed vahtisid kiimaste nägudega noort pealetulevat põlvkonda ja üritasid neid tantsivas rahvamassis persetest ja tissidest krabada, kohal olid ka shvipsis nägude ja lagunenud hammastega ENSV kunstiringkonna grand-old-lady'd.
Respekt Kuku kubi muutumatu teenenduskultuuri eest, mis on kümnendite vältel spetsiifilist ättitjuudi hoidnud. Kunstimasuurikatega, kes nagu suured lapsed on, teistmoodi ei saagi.
Lehtmets oli ilusasti kodus, pean tõdema et ta on palju korralikum kui mina, vähemalt mis puutub alkoholi tarvitamisse.
