Hi Elapid,

OK … I’ll bite :slight_smile:

On the off chance that you are being serious (which I doubt) you would have a somewhat bizarre definition of evil!

The symbology and mythology of the Phoenix rising up out of it’s own ashes goes back to Egyptian and Greek mythology (see here) and has become a rather universal symbol of rebirth in many cultures around the world (see here). It has been a symbol that has always been particularly meaningful to me and I have used for many years in several variations in various forums or online venues even back to the days of bulletin boards (before there was an internet as we know it). It’s symbolic of the parts of my life where I have gone through difficult times and have “reinvented” myself or been “reborn” as I moved from one cycle of life to another :slight_smile:

A google search on phoenix mythology and symbolism will bring up much more information about it

Elapid,

It sounds a little more like “trolling” and it has nothing to do with mattresses but I’m always happy to explain something that is meaningful to me :slight_smile:
