Hitler's Cross Eatery. "A new restaurant at Kharghar has actually been named as Hitler's Cross and it was inaugurated by the who's who of Navi Mumbai on Friday evening." The owners say they want to "stand out among hundreds of Mumbai eateries. We wanted to be different. This is one name that will stay in people’s minds... We are not promoting Hitler. But we want to tell people we are different in the way he was different.”

The double post was worth it just for that idea. Too bad I am not in the food and beverage business. By the way, I belive the proper Asian term is "roundeyes".
