2) [sleepyday] 26-10-2008(59): Not to confuse anyone, but I think if you put your mind to it, you can see the image of a father here. The first two strokes take on the form of his eye brows, and the third and fourth stroke make up the nose and mustache.

3) [alantin] 21-6-2008(21): It is a pictograph of your dad tying his tie!

4) [blaked569] 26-2-2009(15): My two gay fathers. The Sitcom (really surprised nobody put this one up before: 2 cockswords).
