Which war was lost for lack of a nail?

Answer 1

Something of great importance may depend on an apparently trivial detail. The saying comes from a longer proverb about a battle during which the loss of a nail in a horseshoe leads to the loss of a horse, which leads to the loss of the rider, which leads to the loss of the battle, which in turn leads to the loss of a whole kingdom.

For want of a nail, a shoe was lost
For want of a shoe, a horse was lost
For want of a horse, a rider was lost
For want of a rider, a battle was lost
For want of a battle, a kingdom was lost

It mentions no specific battle though.

Answer 2

The war against stupid Todd Rundgren songs.

Answer 3

You should NOT represent the eye in horizontal format. It is a violation of the rules. The eye is the fish, the fish is the confluence of "Good" and "Bad" venn circles. So the eye sees both. The fish must always be represented in symbol form just as Muruga made it: in vertical form, like a vagina.

Answer 4

Not sure apart from being a line from a song
