- mangamadaiyan 3y agoI thought the same, until I saw Cygnus from truly dark skies. The constellation, which looks like a stick figure vaguely resembling a bird from city skies, quite literally looked like a swan in flight from dark skies.
- andrewflnr 3y agoSure, but why borrow extra unrealism in your interpretation when the traditional non-dong interpretation is closer?
- alanbernstein 3y agoPersonally I find nearly every constellation to be an extreme stretch of the imagination, so one interpretation is likely as good as another. I'm a city boy, though, I don't see them often.
- tokai 3y agoSo what if its a bit off center, when have someone ever had their scabbard between their legs? Also why would the club wielding great hunter even carry a scabbard? In the end its interpretation and your socalled traditional interpretation just seems off to me taking into account the fondness of schlongs ancient people had.
- andrewflnr 3y agoIt's not remotely between his legs. If you look at it, either in real life or a star chart, it's really obviously not in the right spot. A scabbard is still a stretch, yes, but I think a dong is just unsupportable.
