Ketch rigged gaff is the first nonsense one.
A flettner rig is a rotating cylinder.
Ah. I thought that was some quivering square making a joke reference I didn’t get!

“Some surfaces may seem difficult to glue. But if you research the materials, find tables of what adhesives work on them, and prepare your surfaces carefully, you can fail to glue them in a fun NEW way that fills your house with dangerous vapors.”
I see that Randall recently tried to repair something.
This was a bad day to give up sniffing glue …
How nice! In color!
Made me wander around looking for other colored ones and I landed on this one before I found one: Meteorologist. Made me laugh.

Welcome to the International Space Station Exclamation Point!
Huh?
It’s “International Station”, not “Internationalstation”. And someone said the distinction out loud, and it got misinterpreted.
