Interesting tidbits about the differences between a jack knife, pen knife, whittler's knife, and fisherman's knife

Brown & Sharp 2"-3" micrometer with a pat date of Dec 30, 1902. I just bought it for $3. I paid nearly double that for shipping.


I saw a small tarantula hawk the other day (not my photo, but looked like this)


From back in May, pretty much our entire property, nearly 6 acres is covered with these for 1-2 weeks, and for another week or 2 before and after, we get early birds and stragglers. They are 1-1.5" across.


This year, I even saw a mutant with 4 petals.

The La Brea Tar Pits (1924)





At one time there was London-Calcutta-London bus service.
It was the longest bus route in the world.
This route was operational from 1957 to 1976.
It was run by a company called Albert Travel.
The total distance of this route was about 32,669 km.
It took about 50 days to reach London from Kolkata.
During the journey, the bus route was from England to Belgium and from there West Germany, Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and North West India reached Kolkata via New Delhi, Agra, Allahabad and Benares.
The bus ticket cost £145 including accommodation.
This bus had bunkers for sleeping and a well-equipped kitchen for meals.
During the journey, breaks were given to visit various places of interest, including the Taj Mahal.
In addition, breaks were given to Vienna, Istanbul, Kabul and Tehran for shopping.

I know if I was on that ride, there would be a bunch of kids singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall for hours on end!
