     Tony,
     
     According to Webster, a trefoil is "1. Any of various plants...having 
     compound leaves with three leaflets."(which just happens to be the 
     Girl Scout symbol) "2. Something, as an ornament, symbol...that has 
     the stylized appearance of a trifoliate leaf." (which could, without 
     much of a stretch of the imagination, represent the subject of your 
     debate).   
     
     According to my three representatives of the Girl Scouts of America, 
     the TREFOIL was, and still is, a type of Girl Scout cookie (currently 
     on sale, by the way).  Good luck!

Dear Radsafers,
    I have been imvolved in a lively discussion concerning the three-bladed
radiation symbol.  A co-worker adamantly insists the name of the sysbol was the
TRE-FOIL vice TRI-FOIL.  I thought a tre-foil was a Girl Scout cookie.  Any
help?
