From the bartender’s corner – Amsterdam cocktail
When will I learn to plan?
Have you ever wondered what kind of an idiot drives with the roof down when the outside temperature is 46F (8C)?
Well, wonder no more.
It is precisely that kind of an idiot that buys a big christmas tree and after hauling the box to the parking lot realizes that he has brought the small car to the store.
In short, yours truly!
Another Sunday morning word puzzles
This one comes from Nikita and myself. We have been looking into different “meters”. By that, I mean different kind of instruments that end with the word “meter”. I am sure you know what is a thermometer, a barometer and maybe even a ammeter if you are an engineer.
See if you know any of these that we learnt recently. If you don’t try to guess from the root of the word and then feel free to Google. Then write in the comment section the number of words you knew or had guessed correctly.
I will post the answers after 24 hours.
So, what do you think is a….
1. Butyrometer
2. Drisdometer
3. Drosometer
4. Laxometer
5. Macrometer
6. Opisometer
7. Potometer
8. Pyrometer (my first guess was it measures temperatures – you know “pyro” meaning fire; but as Nikita pointed out that is what a thermometer is for :-))
9. Variometer
10. Vertometer
Happy “metering”….
From the bartender’s corner – Uphill Each Way
12 miles on a cold and gloomy day
Friday evening winding down…
“Mat pooch ke kya haal hai mera teray peechey
Tu dekh ke kya rang tera meray aage”
Very powerful and romantic words from the renowned Mirza Ghalib (circa 19th century)
Roughly translated…
“Do not ask me about the colors draining from me after you leave
You worry about the colors that overcome you in my presence”
