@Linda, This whole thread is absolutely bananas. 
@JoJo_Jost, your point is well taken. Trust me, I don’t take any of the suggestions made in this thread, drawing parallels between human body parts and VMS illustrations, all that seriously. I find pareidolia fun to indulge in, and enjoy entertaining the slightest possibility that just maybe there’s an intentional visual parallel or reference. I’m a long time regular at Reddit’s r/Symbology, ever since binging Dan Brown’s books. This issue comes up a lot there. Sometimes naturally occurring lines and patterns, unintentionally made marks, and images made with very specific intentions, bear striking but completely unintentional similarities to other known imagery. Not every symbol containing an upward pointing chevron and a downward pointing chevron is evidence of the Freemasons’ involvement. The difference is that for most things posted in r/Symbology, the answer is in the context: where was it emblazoned, where was it found, what was it made with, and how long ago? We don’t get that kind of context with the VMS.
