That is a triskelion and the one you've got in the picture is properly called a Sicilian triskelion. Please check this out for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triskelion :-)
ummmmmm .... disturbing... going to show up in someones dreams tonight I am sure!!! probably nice deep meaning. Timely with Halloween and all.... ooooo, costume idea!!!!!
It looks a little feminine to me and, I must admit, the first thought that came to mind was "she's a leggy broad". I wonder what a psychologist would say about that...
