That user mysteriously died starting his car when the spark caused a massive explosion.  Some of those stories weren't very kind to Mr. T.

Well when I said who came up with Mr. T., I didn't mean Mr. T. himself, because he already exists. I meant who was the person who came up with the idea to use Mr. T. as the primitive for it.

Watch you talkin' about, foo'?

Maybe it's because the 'person' radical is sorta T-shaped.

I use Arnold Schwarzenegger myself, 'cause before I started using this site, that's what another site with RTK stories used, and he was a brilliant choice. Arnold could be anything: an action hero, a politician, a bodybuilder, a doofus who doesn't know what he's talking about... and yet it's still specific and vivid enough that I virtually never forget the radical or put it where it doesn't belong.

Why be so rude to a new member?

EDIT:Ok I take back what I said,  Mister T is just omnipresent!

i don't know much about Mr. T so i cant pick him

I used Laura Croft from Tomb Raider for the primitive.  There is just so many situations you could put her in.

He certainly does.

Oh, I see.  You think I mean the cuddly playful Dalai Lama.  That is the side people refer to as Avaloketeshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.   All bodhisattvas have  compassionate, wisdom and power aspects.  This is the Dalai Lama's power aspect.  He is called Mahakala in this form by the Tibetans:

I'm still learning, but is it not that Avaloketeshvara is the same as 觀世音【かんぜおん】 from Japanese Buddhism? And is the Dalai Lama considered a Boddhisatva by Tibetan Buddhists? I know they consider him a reincarnation of the previous Dalai Lama, but I didn't know about him being considered a Boddhisatva. Thanks if you can explain this to me.
