What do you make of this Argos lamp?
If you go to page 1146 in the Argos catalogue there are 3 of these displayed in a row. Also this lamp is prominently displayed on Lorraine Kelly's breakfast show. |

Looks to me like a maori fishing hook design.
Quite a common design for various things. |

Bit too chrome for me.
It does look a bit like a Swan though, and everyone likes them, apart from their much vaunted ability to break your arms...according to mothers worldwide that is, I've never heard of it actually happening.

I thought it probably foretold disaster in some unknown way, but no, they really are trying to canvas opinion about a lamp.

It's partner was sitting on the eggs in the nest. They can be bloody frightening,I seen one attack another swan who happened to enter the territory of the resident swans. The noise it was making as it held the 'enemies' neck in it's beak whilst whacking it with it's wing, had me shaking.

The lamp is the shape of a 6. On the page where 3 are lined up it looks like 666. This is why the OP asked us about the lamp.
