Sub Rosa

In German, the antenna blind cone is called "die örtlische Rosa," "the local/area rose." I like this phrase because it alludes to the classical symbol of discretion.

The Romans used to paint roses on the cielings of their dining rooms as a reminder to respect confidences despite the tongue-loosening effects of wine, the origin of the phrase, "sub Rosa." Also, lovers give each other roses as a symbol of trust and intimacy.

I think this is interesting enough to end up on a discussion page. I can't imagine the Antenna blind cone article having an Antenna blind cone trivia section. --Fulminouscherub 02:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
