USB - The spawn of satan?

[Steve_bullockuk]

Seriously what is this world coming too?

In a nutshell, Evangelical Christians in Brazil have banned the use of USB connections after claiming the technology is the mark of Satan-worshippers.

Apparently the USB symbol resembles a Trident.

I suppose it does to an extent...

Why not associate it with Neptune rather than the Devil?

Lulz.

The trident which belongs to Neptune, Roman God of the sea? And which has nothing to do with the devil, until about the Italian renaissance? That trident?

Stupid Christians.

Oh crap, I'm a Christian. How embarrassing.

Anyway. USB may very well have been devised by Satan. Who else would think it was a good idea to have a symmetrically shaped connector that can't actually be fitted either way?

I was about to mention that....I mean it's pretty much common knowledge for people who haven't even read the bible.

Because Neptune is some made up god whereas God and the Devil are...

[Lysander]

It's a rubbish symbol anyway.
