>The staff you're looking for is the rod of Asklepios
I'm afraid that may be one of those interesting facts that is lost to history. It doesn't matter which symbol has the correct origin because the caduceus is in widespread use. It's on hospitals and road signs and military patches - everywhere. Google search for "medical symbol" turns up 20 images of the caduceus for every image of the rod of Asklepios. Probably because the caduceus looks way cooler and is a much easier to pronounce than "Asklepios".
Some guy found that commercial organizations were more likely to use the caduceus than professional associations. Since the Chakwas cartel is processing kilotons of platinum, I'd say it falls squarely on the commercial end of the spectrum.
I laughed! Though, there is just something I have to point out in the last panel.
That staff is the caduceus, carried by Hermes and symbolising trade and negotiation. The staff you're looking for is the rod of Asklepios, god of medicine and healing, which only has one snake and no wings.
I think this is a good basis to go and make an indie game with. Obviously there should be more per bug, as well as graphical improvements, but it'd be fun nonetheless.
Badspot, Is there a way to get ROM Shelf to recognize any of the video snapshots from Emumovies.com?? Or might a future version of ROM Shelf be able to do this? I have complete sets I'd like to use with ROM Shelf.
