Congrats PA & KY, we made the headline!

From Intercourse, Pa., to Monkey’s Eyebrow, Ky., how U.S. places got their names

At least we (KY) got mentioned in the article. Barely.

Intercourse is fuckin' simple, but Monkey's eyebrow is kinky.

I *love* the dovetail vise / bench featured on the cover in the lower left hand corner. And the spokeshave. And the stick welder. And I'm not done with the pdf yet. Thanks for this post Jon!

So are you going to buy the book from this spammer?

Happy Monkey · 09-08-2015, 08:21 AM

I don't think they sell a book. It's a free ebook with links to the projects.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-08-2015, 11:37 AM

OK, you're right. The first time I downloaded the PDF none of the links worked, not even the buy the book link. I tried again and found it would link to the site, then a daisy chain of links to a particular item build.

Idioms from around the world

Hey, don't throw a chicken at yourself, click the link, you might end up banging your butt on the ground. And I ain't hanging noodles on your ears, either. Even if I do live in the butt of the wolf.

Not exactly "cool", but interesting.

Using the very late 1940's and very early 50's, the "inflation calculator" doesn't work for my memory of:
gas: ($0.25/gal), cigarettes ($0.25/pack), a 2-bedroom suburban ranch-style house ($8,000), or a car ($3,000/Kaiser sedan)

Gas, housing, and cars are still essential for suburban living, but I don't understand how people can afford cigarettes today.

People shouldn't want cigarettes anyway.
