    WTF... That would explain why it is written as a sample in every font that you download. I'll pay closer attention to this from now on.​

    When we pick corn or carrots and throw them into boiling water they might be screaming out in pain.

    Very popular when learning to type.
    When Jane was on one of her business courses, she had to follow it in Pitman shorthand.
    She still managed to get a pass when she got it all wrong by joking that she would not be very popular if she used shorthand on the pay roll.
    Needless to say, while most people scored about 40%, she got 100% on the NCR pay roll machine. I doubt that anyone has even seen one today, It was a massive mechanical multi stage calculator and looked like the codebreaking machines at Bletchley Park.

    This is the basic ledger machine, the wages version was far larger and more complex.

    When you are swimming, your loss in weight is equivalent to the weight of water that you are displacing in the pool.
    Since your weight is zero while swimming, the water displacement equals your body weight.
    water has a specific gravity of 1, so the displacement can be measured rather than having to weigh the water.

    PS. Scales are easier, but a lot less fun.
