signs of the apocalypse

absolutely hilarious and tragic from Worldmag blog
The letter "X" may soon be banned from Saudi Arabia after the country's Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice ruled against Amru Mohammad Faisal, a Saudi businessman who asked to trademark the English name "Explorer" for a service he was providing. The commission nixed the name because religious experts deemed the letter "X" suspiciously similar to a cross. Faisal mocked the commission in a newspaper article, wondering if they were going to ban the plus sign in mathematics, in order "to prevent filthy Christian conspiracies from infiltrating our thoughts, our beliefs, and our feelings."
