Tick Tock… Not a Clock

Today I learned, from an in-flight magazine, that the word clock comes from the Celtic word for bell and that something that keeps time and does NOT ring or clang is technically a timepiece.

Wikipedia agrees.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock

And I need to add a new category for trivia.  What’s yours?

Blog and Learn

Today I learned that posting a simple concept on a blog can lead to learning the same concept described much more skillfully, in a posted comment.  See January 7.

Keep ’em coming!  What did you learn today?
