I still get a kick out of the Madrid coat of arms. Someone was smoking some really nice hash to come up with a bear trying to get an orange off an orange tree as the symbol of the city…

As for the anniversary – yeah.

They are ancient arms, but cleaned up for a modern form. It was probably something the area was once noted for – the fruit loving bears – and the local gang leader adopted it as his mark.
