How do you spell onomatopoeia?

Exactly how it sounds.

I saw that some company, I think in Japan, has designed a toilet for the workplace that is tilted forward so you naturally want to slide off going forward. If you sit for more than about five minutes you start feeling leg strain. The idea is to make it too uncomfortable to sit longer than needed.

I saw there is a special on CNN about the history of black TV.

I emailed to let them know it was called black and white TV.

Many years ago I made a setup like that to test my idea for a sprinkler head that could cut your grass. I was using air to pressurize a pipe filled with water, to supply the head for testing.

The people at the hardware store thought I was making bombs. :biggrin:
