bill - we've got those warning signs out here in australia too. when i saw your name for the first time I wished I'd done that, and then I wondered why it had taken so long for someone to do it.
I used to dream about putting up "free bill posters" posters up next to the prosecution warnings, but of course I never did. there's still time, though...
matsya is a god from hinduism, the first incarnation of vishnu, who is one of the three big guns in hinduism, alongside shiva and brahma. vishnu manifests on earth in various incarnations, the more famous of which would be rama, krsna and the buddha. matsya is his first incarnation, the fish (sometimes depicted as a man with a fish tail from the waist down). He hung out with Manu, the first man, and one of his stories involves saving people from a great flood.
I chose it because I had an earlier history of using the phrase "i have seen the fish" as a login and so on (it goes back to an old highschool injoke), and later on I became interested in the gods and goddesses of hinduism. the two just sort of dovetailed.
