Actually, pitchforks typically have four. Two would be a fauchard or military fork -- a weapon of war. Tridents, meanwhile, are better suited to fishing, while pitchforks are designed to sling hay on a farm. None of the above have anything to do with devils, per se, though pitchforks are occasionally portrayed in devilish images for some reason. I'd think there wouldn't be much hay surviving in a lake of fire, though. >=20 > Interestingly, the trident seems to appear in a number of religions. >=20 > Shiva carries one: >=20 > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Shiva_cropped.jpg >=20 > as does Poseidon IIRC. >=20 > So maybe Beastie is a disabled Hindu!

Maybe he's just among those Hindu deities. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkxWMvAACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKU9dwCgooO0nsxquqa7v4+ywVSKXjLC PNQAoL2Pl995R/uPKlnO97PknbR9eJW+ =G/sc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GvXjxJ+pjyke8COw--
