Try logging out and logging back in, I had something like that happen.

Nice little Ankh symbol you got there. You should check out the history of it sometime, it's interesting.

OMG a witchcraft symbol, WTF????? Confused

Its an Egyptian Religous symbol similar to a Christian Cross. At least thats my understanding of it anyway. I love Egyptian Mythology and all that cool stuff. I hope to go there one day and visit the tombs and stuff. Too bad Egyptologists don't get paid jack squat and spend most of their time in museums, NOT EGYPT otherwise, guess where I'd be Laughing

i always thought it was Mr. Burns from teh simpsons...

you know the episode where he's glowing and he comes out of the forest? and he scared Homer because Homer thinks he's an alien? that episode. The symbol looks like Mr. Burns..

Well religion and aliens go together, so it works.

And it's not a pagan/wiccan symbol. Many symbols have been taken out of context. Hell, even the "christian" fish symbol wasn't always a symbol of the christian faith.

The Ankh has many meanings, some believe the top represents feminine discipline while the bottom part represents masculine discipline. (bit of phallic reference there i would imagine, good ol' Freud!)
