All seriousness aside, the building was very likely pre-WWII. Many early military buildings were laid out like spiders. Something about bombs not disabling everything. :dubious: Also, the Native Americans of the southwestern U.S. used the same pattern a couple hundred years ago. ---

Symbol of eternity and all that. There’s also quite a few old quilts out there with swasticas everywhere. Kind of knocks you back a step until you remember it was a very respectable quilt pattern until stupid ol’ Hitler ruined it for everyone. ---

When I put aside the Nazi connotation, I think the swastika is pretty cool-looking symbol. I think as a very young kid I used to doodle it. I also liked the Star of David and doodled that, so maybe they cancelled out. ---

If the building was pre-WWII, the street names are all of Pacific theatre naval battles. Not only is there a Bougainville, but Guadalcanal, Kwajalein, ---

This just confirms my long-held suspicion that San Diegans are all Nazis. Never trust a San Diegan, that’s what I always say. ---

My church was built in the 1920s. My church has swastikas on a few of the floor tiles. You have to be pretty bored during church to notice them- they are small, and there aren’t many- but I’ve been bored enough to notice. The swastikas are pink. I don’t think my church was built by proto-nazis, though. ---

Well, I don’t know about the “fodder” part but I believe I’ve found [evidence](http://tinypic.com/992ibn.jpg) for the 'titfoil" part. Link Semi-NSFW. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/more-titfoil-hat-fodder/313654.md?page=1)
