The 3 most recognised symbols in the world, in order are ....

1, Coke a cola sign.
2, The Christian Cross.
3, The Mercedes Benz 3 pointed star.

Well thats what I was told on a recent training course.

Also to kill a fly you take it from behind, Oooooh Errrr. The reason for this is to get airborne a fly jumps backwards first, so if you come from behind (no pun intended) the fly unintentionally jumps into whatever your hitting it with.
