like you don't think of the element mercury as having any particular relationship to the concept of temperature, but gears go with time
-F

random amusing thing: we know that bears used to have another name in germanic languages but not what that name was

the word bear originates from an old germanic word meaning something along the lines of "the brown one", because people were terrified of bears and the usual thing of not being comfortable saying the name of such things

i wonder if there's some minor language or dialect somewhere that's preserved something related to the original name

we needed a distraction and it looked like we were going to get one and then there was none and that's worse than not having one at all to begin with
