    RIP, Famous person

    I just learned today that Eddie Van Halen had a patent

    That link should take you to the image in the USPTO's database, and it's worth seeing the illustration of his invention.

    Re: RIP, Famous person

    I found Frank Bough an intensely irritating presenter.

    His style was to rattle through a clipboard load of questions and not listen to the interviewees' answers.

    His interlocutors were never heavyweights who deserved a grilling, and an informal, conversational style of interview should have developed but didn't because he never listened to the damned answers.

    That said, RIP.

    Until this very minute, I didn't know which one was which.

    I don't think I missed anything.

    wow 90, I had no idea he was so old.  Never thought about it really, always seemed so ageless

    Re: RIP, Famous person

    When unclear, Google it...
    Quelle = damn near anything including what, spoken of before, not close to the speaker, already known to the speaker and listener, a spring or well, source. 

    Dommage = shame, pity, damage, harm, injury, damage, mischief.​

    It's as clear as mud but it covers the ground.

    Re: RIP, Famous person

    But translate from what, apparently those two words show up in several languages , french, German, Spanish, Russian, with vaguely similar meanings, not to mention the Urban dictionary with a language  that's just as foreign to me.

    That's a pretty good trick when the same words appear in multiple languages.
