The Uncommon News
Heavens to Murgatroyd
Here’s a test for your kids, or
grandkids (or parents / grandparents)
about ‘phrases’ from the past:
 What is a ‘jalopy’ …. ‘a carbon copy’ …
‘don’t touch that dial’ … ‘not for all the tea
in China’ ….‘moxie’…. ‘knucklehead’ …’a
pill’ … ‘nincompoop’ ??
 Feelings: “Hunk Dory” …”Fiddlesticks” …
“Heavens to Betsy!” … “You Sound Like a
Broken Record” .. “Gee Whillikers”...
“Holey Moley” ... “Jumping Jehoshaphat”
... “Knee High to a Grasshopper” …. “I’ll
be a Monkey’s Uncle”
 Fashion phrases: ‘fedoras’, ‘knickers’,
‘pedal pushers’, ‘poodle skirts’, ‘spats’ ..
‘beehives’ … ‘pageboys’
“See Ya Later, Alligator”
OMG!
Sitting All
Day?
Few People Know …
that three women are buried within the
Basilica of the Vatican. I thought this
newsworthy but as I researched it, turns
out this is complicated: only about 100
papal tombs (of the 269 popes) are extant (in existence); The old Basilica was
torn down & rebuilt over 120 years &
completed in 1626, but many tombs
were lost. There are kings & cardinals
among the dead but, the three women
are: Countess Mathilda of Tuscany
(1115), Queen Kristina of Sweden (1689),
& Maria Clementina Sobieska of Poland
(1735). It is not clear why these
women were buried there, but all
held positions of power & wealth.
If you have one of those
office jobs where you sit
all day, you probably have
wondered once in awhile ‘what impact it
may have on your health.’ A new study
just in suggests a formula for exercise for
your sitting. If you’re in the chair 8 hours,
you should be moving 1 hour / day; if it’s
6 hours chair time, then 1/2 hour is good.
The exercise does not have to be all at
once, or rigorous, & can be as simple as
walking. The data came from a study/pool
of 1 million adults over 45 in Europe, U.S.
& Australia; along with published studies
of how much exercise it takes to compensate for the sitting. Good Luck!

could be bad for his health.
Seems those medals weigh
~15 pounds & when hung around a
neck, well, think of a bowling ball, or

say it could result in pinched nerves,

Gravity is Weak
scientist say who think about
these things. In proportion to other
physical forces in the universe, it is
weak. After all, a tiny magnet can over
power the gravitational pull of Earth.
They theorize it has to do with the mass
of Higgs Boson. Be thankful, any stronger, there would be no newsletter, or you.

The Life & Death of Robots
Best Island in the World …. Black on White
Palawan
In 2004 the European Space Agency launched
or White on Black
the spacecraft Rosetta. It traveled 4 billion
miles to catch up with & orbit the comet
67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. 10 years later
Rosetta then launched the 220 lb robot lab
Philae to land on the comet & sniff, taste &
prod it for whatever it might learn - for about
60 hours. Unfortunately the landing did not go
smoothly & Philae ended up in a crevice on
the comet, away from the Sun, its power
source. It went quiet except for 8 intermittent
communications in the summer of 2015. After
a year’s silence, scientists have given up hope
determining Philae was in eternal hibernation,
severed communications, & closed its Twitter
account. Rosetta will crash onto the
comet on Sept 30 & join Philae.

The Greenland Shark has been
described as a ‘giant swimming
nose’ due to its poor eyesight &
keen sense of smell. But the
research guys claim these
sharks grow o l d …. like
between 272 & 512 years old.
How do they know? They use a
technique ‘eye lens radiocarbon
dating’ & say that in colder
waters (ie, North Atlantic,
Arctic) growth slows & fish
tend to get older. Moral of the
story: perhaps this winter you
may consider more time in our
nearby frozen lakes!
Nap Rooms, Quiet Rooms,
Rest Spaces, Nap Pods
There appears to be a trend
in some companies to provide space for
mid-day naps. They say it promotes
better … performance, concentration,
mood, accuracy & creativity. These
spaces include couches, beds, recliners,
bean bags, sounds & pillows. So here
are some tips: take it early as to not
interfere with bedtime, keep it short (20
minutes) & set your alarm, find space
that is quiet & private (your office, car,
outdoor bench); use a subtle prop: cozy
socks, your fuzzy blanket, neck pillow,
eye mask. And finally, just remember,
everyone’s phone now has a camera.
