I learned that a Blanquito de la Habana is an extinct Cuban dog breed. Courtesy of Monika and her post about her pet Havanese. Also learned that a"hundesalon' is a pet grooming parlor in German. Pretty neat word. Pete

Today, I mostly learned what a "bottom knocker" was and was pleasantly surprised it was not what I thought it was.

If you follow F1 you will hear Vettel`s English pit crew on the radio calling: "box' box".

Today I learned that I was becoming increasingly forgetful. Of course, I'd discovered that already, but forgot.

Not just Vettel's, either. "Box" is the universal term used by F1 pit crews (and in other formulae?) to tell their drivers to pit at the end of the lap.

I learnt that fridges all have hinges on the right, as you face them, microwaves all have hinges on the left.

Easier for r handers to open fridge with r hand.
M/w panel is on the right side and its easier to take hot dishes out with your r hand if hinges on left.

For God's sake, don't tell Homer!

[HHTel]

There are some fridge/freezers in Home Pro that have doors that open both ways.
