<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1260486, member: 5833"]For anyone who may not know, the Greek word for fish is ἸΧΘΥΣ, ichthys, as in ichthyology. So it is an acronym, as SOS laid out, for:</p><p><b>Ἰ</b>ησοῦς <b>Χ</b>ριστὸς <b>Θ</b>εοῦ <b>Υ</b>ἱὸς <b>Σ</b>ωτήρ</p><p>Jesus Christ; God's Son: Savior</p><p><br /></p><p>And the fish drawing is a rebus for ichthys. Fish with wings led to pigs with wings, which led us through the looking glass for a moment, an experience that left us completely silly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
