Why am I on a Japanese box?

I think most Simpsons fans would know where this little dialog is from...

Quote:

Lisa: What the heck is that?
Bart: Maybe it's a box from the future.
Lisa: It look's Japanese.
Homer: What's going on? Why am I on a Japanese box?



For a few years I was quite sure that I created a completly original symbol for myself (based on Tolkien's idea to combine his initials to form a cool looking symbol)... I used it as an avatar in many forums and even changed my nickname to my initials (IYY)...

Today I was looking at pictures of Canadian stamps and I saw my symbol on it... And it stood for IYY but IYY stood for International Youth Year...

here is the stamp


and here is my no longer original symbol


So I wanted to ask if anybody else here had that weird experience where you are just sure you made something original and see it somewhere else.

Actually, I thought I had made up the name Darion, but it was actually a stupid character on Sailor Moon. Tuxedo Mask or somethin like that, it was his alter ego.

Well it happens with just about any set initials or something really, but amongst other things that I didn't know, it also means "Root Means Square", it's some semi-famous dudes initials, though who that is, I dunno...then it's a middle school somewhere in the US, and stands for Royal Mail Ship, as in the RMS St. Helena and RMS Titanic, and the RMS (Royal Mail Streamer) Lusitania.
