Touch 10/13/21 11:51:16 AM #1:	The original thread was something like "Starfish aren't shaped like stars. Stars are shaped like starfish."

LinkPizza 10/13/21 11:53:51 AM #2:	Probably because stars twinkle, so it looks like little points, which can kind of look like that. I mean, we have many things we draw that dont look the same. Like hearts and heads (people draw them round, even though they are more ovalish) Probably something similar like those Eventually, people just accepted that as the drawn shape Plus, its different from the sun or circles --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
