Neil Degrasse Tyson told them that they had the globe spinning the wrong direction. It was harder to re-mount the motor than it was to turn the globe over.
The same process is used to create 'baby' carrots. The man who developed this product died in 2005 http://www.nysun.com/obituaries/mike-yurosek-82-farmer-who-invented-baby-carrots/16046/ Until then, broken or misshapen carrots were of very low value. They could be used for carrot juice or animal fodder or pre-cut carrots for freezing or canning. Yurosek combined an automatic cutter and potato peeling machine to cut and then abrade carrot pieces into the familiar 'baby' shapes we see today.
Propriety dictates I should thank you for this helpful illustration. I can't quite bring myself to do it, but please accept these roundabout words in token for the thanks that you deserve.
I was told that the toenails are not used. I asked if the workers saved them and engaged in some folk art, kind of like the scrimshaw craft done by whalers in their spare time? I just got a funny look.
At W.M. Briggs' site, there's this screenshot of their product page. I wonder, but at the same time hesitate to imagine, what the "crown" of a pig rectum consists of:
So, the Japanese are self-regulating and orderly. The Germans also want to be orderly, but feel that they must install an orderly infrastructure to act as a framework (for efficiency?). Americans and Aussies are (sorry, I hope not to offend) pretty similar. EXCEPT that Americans may travel in single-sex groups occasionally. Some Americans also kinda-sorta try to get their ducks in a row, but don't want to be too rigid about it, since they're on vacation. The French are unruly, but some attempt to set themselves as an example, vainly hoping that the others will get a clue.
Insects are able to see things much faster than we do. A fluorescent light is supposed to appear to an insect as a blinking light, since they flash at 60 cycles per second. A CRT television, then, would appear as a blinking light scanning across the screen, tracking from top to bottom, then starting again from the top, but offset by one line. I would think that this test can only work with modern LCD monitors, and would fail with a CRT.
Here's a page that mentions another Boop-Oop-a-Doop girl: Blondie of Blondie and Dagwood! http://bettyboop.com/2014/04/17/boop-oop-a-doop/ Her maiden name was Blondie Boopadoop. Dagwood, the heir to a great fortune, was so in love with her that he endured a hunger strike to force his father's approval of their wedding. In the end, he suffered to be disowned rather than give up his girl.
