Holy Moley, I was just browsing ebay and I see a collection that someone built on the topics Medicine and Mythology..i couldnt believe how many countries issued stamps depicting Mercury ! Its amazing what people can come up with using a little imagination !
Yesterday I tried to find the lot on ebay because it sounded interesting. I couldn't. I'm an idiot. My wife says I couldn't find my arse with an arse detector. She's probably right.
Greek mythology teaches us that Mercury was the messenger of the Gods. That is why he has wings on his feet and his caduces.
The symbol of the medical community, in mythology is the ascapulus. The is the single stick with one snake around it. That is on the cap badge of the Canadian Forces Medical Service.

Likewise, La Swabbie... I couldn't fine me arse with both hands in me back pockets, eh!
