Someone (ie, not me) could market a range of screws and screwdrivers with the screw head slots shaped like the symbols of major world religions. Church/Mosque construction must be big business, and having the slots in the screws used to construct the buildings would give the vicer/oman/preist extra cachet,
and also remind the worshippers why they are there.
The simplest design is the Christian cross, which would simply be an offset Philips screwhead.
The Star of David would also work well.
The Muslim crescent moon screw would be difficult to drive into hard woods or masonary...
I think also a fish-shaped screw head may also be difficult to use.....
Star of David bolts (sort of)

the crescent wouldn't screw? |
|
| |
It's a bugger for religions with circular symbolism. |
|
| |
"Damn! These are Ganesh the Elephant-God screws and all I've got is this crappy Ying-Yang screwdriver!" |
|
| |
Yeah, building Hindu temples (or temples of any pantheon-rich polytheistic religions) really would be a bind. I've tried fixing up a car that had a mixture of imperial and metric sized nuts/bolts and that was bad enough. |

//It's a bugger for religions with circular symbolism// Those are nails, dummy - useful for hanging up founders of other religions. |
|
| |
I think this is fun, and I'm pretty certain you could devise a workable crescent-head screw, though why stop at religious symbols? I want cat's-paw-head screws. |

//I want cat's-paw-head screws// But that would allow Tiddles to dismantle your Ikea sofa, not merely pluck it so it looks like a wind gag. |

Thought this might refer somehow to Pat Robertson.
(Let's see if anyone besides me gets that obscure association.) |

"Damn these Zen screws - the tops are completely smooth and featureless!" |
|

Let's see, [half]... Bhagwan Rajneesh, Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh, Jimmy Bakker, Fred Nile... |

"Pass me a number three Druid, Merv." |

Jewish plumbers have apparantly been on to this idea for years... (linky) |
|
| |
I do see a large amount of cash being earned by this idea. |
|
| |
How many Christians does it take to screw in a Hindu? |
|
| |
That depends upon the size of the Hindu, and how carefully you have hollowed him out. |
|
| |
[hippo], you might be looking at the Zen-end of a carriage bolt. |
|
| |
"What's a Hindu?"
"Lay eggs."
sorry. |

I think screw heads should be shaped like the head of the person screwing them in. Then they would be personal screw heads. But, expensive...that's why I would just use nails. I like the violence of it all. But, then, my wife hates the noise of all that banging... |
|
| |
"Well, then we can just use the very expensive 'My Head' screws then, can't we?" |
|
| |
God...I hate it when she gets that way... |
|
| |
"And, you can forget about that new leather jacket you wanted me to get you for your birthday..." |
|
| |
I really never should have got married in the first place...I certainly wanted to use up those nails. Say... I've an idea...why not nails with heads shaped like my wife's head...that's even beter. We could call them "Shrew Headed nails". I'm sure to get rich over this one. And, the fun of hammering them in...Ahhh! |

These crucifix screws are all in upside down. AAAHHH! There's a satanist in the construction crew! |
