Cool somewhat related fact:
The word for "fish" in Greek (ichthyus) is an acronym for "Jesus Christ Son of God" in Greek(I think it's iota, chi, theta, upsilon, sigma??). Something I learned in 4th grade confirmation class. Hence the fish being a symbol of Christianity (not to mention the "fisher of men" and the feeding of the 5000)
So THAT'S what the Greek letters mean inside of the Jesus fish that people have on their cars! I never knew!

I remember I was out on a 3rd or 4th date with a guy and I saw one in a car and asked what it meant. He asked "Didn't you learn that in CCD (or some sort of class)?" and I replied "No, I'm Agnostic"

He didn't call after that...
