A few things I've come across recently that I didn't know.
The design of the peace symbol is based on the letter N and D, for nuclear disarmament, in semaphore. I had never even thought about why the symbol is the way it is...it just is, you know?
How Wednesday Addams got her name; so simple, but very cool.
The inventor of cruise control was blind! He was a mechanical engineer, and when riding with a driver whose slow-down/speed-up driving made him feel sick, inspiration hit.
Bless him. I've ridden with people whose driving has made me feel a bit queasy, too.
I mostly knit, sometimes crochet or cross-stitch. I read, a lot. I love cats. I love hockey, especially my no-longer-local team, the Boston Bruins. Want more? Read on.
