[edit]
Desiderata
- The official seal of the U.S.Department of Transportation (http://www.dot.gov/) is a white abstract triskelion figure--signifying motion--within a circular blue field. The three branches of the figure curve outward in a counter-clockwise direction.
- James Tiberius Kirk and members of his crew were once kidnapped by disembodied brains for use in gladitorial combat on which the brains, aka "Providers," could wager. Their planet was called Triskelion.
