RhuinHruda Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The cotton swab is a tool invented in the 1920s by Leo Gerstenzang[1] after he attached wads of cotton to toothpicks. Nothing to say why they were invented, but since they're used for microbiology cultures, it was probably for something like that. Do you believe it's possible for there to be space-based lifeforms?

RhuinHruda Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Portuguese is part of the Ibero-Romance group that evolved from several dialects of Vulgar Latin in the medieval Kingdom of Galicia, and has kept some Celtic phonology Around 75% of modern Spanish is derived from Latin. Greek has also contributed substantially to Spanish vocabulary, especially through Latin, on which it had a great impact.[12][13] Spanish vocabulary has been in contact from an early date with Arabic, having developed during the Al-Andalus era in the Iberian Peninsula.[14][15][16][17] With around 8% of its vocabulary being Arabic in origin, this language is the second most important influence after Latin.[14][18][19] It has also been influenced by Basque as well as by neighboring Ibero-Romance languages.[14] It also adopted words from non-Iberian languages such as Gothic language from the Visigoths[20] in which many Spanish names and surnames have a Visigothic origin. It has absorbed vocabulary from other languages, particularly the Romance languages French, Italian, Occitan, and Sardinian, as well as from Nahuatl, Quechua, and other indigenous languages of the Americas. So it looks like Portuguese was influenced by Celtic whereas Spanish was influenced by Greek and Arabic.

Ricki Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Quite a lot actually: Spoiler I'd genuinely recommend watching this whole series, they're great. In Star Wars, why do they sometimes struggle to lift things with the force, when supposedly everything is meant to weigh the same when using it? (or something like that, I got confused).

chair jockey Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Becauise the force is mystical so of course it doesn't make rational sense.
