re: Jeff.

The chrome fish are Christian symbols...the symbolism dates back to the oldest days of the church and all the fishing analogies of Jesus' teaching. They also represent the alpha in the Greek alphabet, referring back to Jesus' remark "I am the alpha and the omega; the beginning and the end."
So, I guess they do double duty as symbols.
The fish should have his head facing left...like the Greek alpha, but occasionally I see them backwards. There is also another chrome fish decal I've seen whose head points to the right, has feet, and says "Darwin" in the center. The analogy there only dates back to the 1870s, however.

Anyhow, I may be Christian, but I'm not putting any stinking fish on my damned Benz.
