That the shapes in the London olympics logo actually spell '2012'?

For the entirety of the Olympics, and since, I though they were just 4 random quadrilaterals.

@Redcrayons

Can't believe I'm googling Lisa Simpson blow job on a bank holiday morning.

You don't need to, it's there in the first post Grin

That's rank. How have I not noticed that before?

Justanother Love that clip. Armstrong and Miller were great.

That Lion worried me as a child! My grandfather explained 'Out of the strong came forth sweetness' but I never really got the relevance.

Lyle had strong religious beliefs, which is why the tin’s famous logo depicts strongman Samson’s ‘lion and bees’ from the Bible’s Old Testament, registered as Lyle’s trademark. ‘Out of the strong came forth sweetness’, as the quote goes; where bees produce honey inside the lion’s carcass, rich syrup pours from the well-loved tin… And the logo and design remain unchanged to this day (along with the delicious contents, of course)

WTF?!!!

The lion is dead ?!

I assumed he was having a nap.

Gosh, I didn’t realise that about the Olympic logo either. My excuse is that in 2012 I was sat in NICU with a 31-weeker when the olympics were on.

Can’t see Lisa Simpson though.

milliemollie I don’t think you can call yourself a pedant if you’re using the incorrect names for polygons. No such thing as a sexagon or a septagon.
