I was at a contractor's hardware supply place yesterday trying to straighten out a mess to say the least. You all know how things can go so crazily wrong with hardware and schedules. Well anyhow the long and short of it is I'm looking at installation instructions for a removable double door mullion which Panic hardware locks into when closed. Right there in front of me is an illustration of the various parts of the mullion with titles. Reading from Top to Bottom I see
Set Screw with an illustration ,,,,reading on down I see Sex Screw. I had to ask my friend if this is really what it was called. He barks back at the top of his voice, ya it is a SEX SCREW. The Contractor
ask him why it is called that, which he responds, "Well the Set Screw has to go somewhere."

When you enter a lift in denmark and press the button , a small red lamp light up on a brass plate with the words "I Fart". (regulations).
In danish "I Fart" mean "Running" or "working" . I often had to explain this to english visitors.
"Speaking of farts, the Danish word "fart" means "speed" as well as something like "journey." This leads to endless fun for English speakers as we giggle at all sorts of silly words. The apocryphal story goes that back in the 50s during a visit by Queen Elizabeth II, the Danish government was asked to cover up the signs for the well-known city of Middelfart. It's the city you have to pass through as the midpoint on your way from the mainland of Jutland over to the islands of Fyn and Sjaelland, but evidently it was too much for Her delicate sensibilities. Then there's the upcoming holiday, Kristi Himmelsfart, which literally memorializes "Christ's Heavenly Journey," but has always struck me as a bit blasphemous in a bilingual way.
Recently, my friend Martin and I were driving up to northern Sjaelland for a meeting and passed through a road construction area with a reduced speed area, which led to my favorite sign of all time: "Fart kontrol." I giggled all the way from Copenhagen and back, thinking of the Danish police handing out tickets for violating the fart kontrol.

Speed in the sense of speeding , the act doing it the resemblance the capable efficiency the modern that work, the travel bound , upspeed challancing ,that is making a good fart , doing it well and on the moove ; Now again you romans forgot the language the words daned atleast tree times , had to travel with good fart learning you , just loosing the danish meaning of the word fart , how can you be without the danish rules you learned by core language ?
soon you will lose the very meaning with your own architecture, if verbal treasures are lost with their obligations, you Romans once again are about to loose what you already vasted, if fart is funny then you don't enhance the the several pictures where fart as word picture things, attitudes values, you can't be without.
What you Romans need, is a Viking rampage, a raid someone who with fury will concour and tell you this ,is how it is made.

Vado retro ; Caulking was and is a drafts and an art. You wouldn't go to sea in a vessel that was badly caulked, caulking if you think so, is not just stuffing and hammering in caulk into a seam between two planks in a ships hull, it was what made it possible to recaulk an old hull that if it was build well would not need any caulking so tight would the plank edges fit and make wooden boats up to thousands of tonns watertight -- but even a good shipsbuilder could build without the need for caulking they did it anyway ,as if caulked by an artist who know the art of caulking had the 13 different caulking irons it requier master the ability to even caulk along the seam --- then the vessel would float and you could risk your life on the caulking not the planking. In the first iron ships they also caulked --- knowing what it was and being the only way to watertight two overlapping steel plates, caulking now became deforming one halve the edge of one steel plate in a specific way and with a particular air driven tool this was made rivited ships watertight an art to, atleast we owe it to be an art.
Any amature who see a profesional caulker work think he can do the same, do what took years to just get the feel of and hammer in the stuffing, where the profesional caulker will know the exact response to tell him four important parameters about the next blow must fall, the angle of the oucum strip deciding the mass of each new loop, that placed right, will direct the forces vertical along the planking , but the process involv the choice of atleast tree different caulking iron and just one thing wrong and all the other informations right it will produce a bad caulking, the worse situation if the caulker hit just the right blow so the caulking is to tight.
So don't make jokes about caulking it only tell you know nothing about the crafts ,is to arogant to respect the lessons of generations and the arts in details.
