        Buongiorne, amico lettore, buongiorno e benvenuti a questa seconda e ultima parte del nostro articolo su un uovo italiano su ruote, l’Iso Isetta. You will remember that this Italian microcar was mainly produced in West Germany. This being said (typed?), that country was not the only one where an assembly line was set up, which explains in part the several nicknames given to the Isetta: in West Germany, rollende Ei (rolling egg); in Argentina, ratón alemán (German mouse); in Brazil, bola de

        Buongiorno, amico lettore, buongiorno. Come vanno le cose? […] Bene, bene. Vorrei discutere con voi di una storia molto interessante. La storia sfaccettato e multinazionale della microvetture Isetta. Iniziamo senza ulteriori indugi. Let us indeed start without further ado, in English if I you allow me. Once upon a time, in 1945, once the Second World War was over, there was an Italian manufacturer of electric heaters and refrigerators, as well as household appliances, Società Anonima Isothermos

        Greetings, and welcome to the world of planetariums. You will remember that, in part 1 of this article of our incomparable blog / bulletin / thingee, we had gone through the early stages of the remarkable life of Armand Neustadter Spitz. Let us follow through by going through the later stages of that remarkable life, the part which concerns his contribution to the development of planetarium projectors. Indeed, Spitz seemingly believed that a planetarium was the best teaching aid ever invented

        Greetings, my reading friend. I have a question for you. Have you ever seen a planetarium show? My fogged-up mind tells me I have but it has no recollection of where or when that experience took place. Memory is a fickle thing, as you well know. The harder one tries to remember something or other, the greater the chances that whatever comes out of the exercise will differ significantly from what really took place. Adding in the mix someone whose only wish is to “help” you remember often

        As yours truly gazed across the abyss that is the World Wide Web, an ad caught my eye. I will admit it had never occurred to me refer to castor oil as delicious. Mind you, I must also admit I never had the (dis)pleasure to actually taste that fluid. As I searched and searched ceaselessly, for a good 90 seconds and a half, for information on William Hood & Company of Toronto, Ontario, a thought gradually formed into my mind. Why not use that firm as pretext to talk (type?) about castor oil? That

        Yours truly would like to begin this issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee with an apology. Contrary to the gentlepersons agreement agreed to many moons ago, I did not include an agricultural topic among those published in April 2022 in said blog / bulletin / thingee. I hereby remedy this failure on my part with what follows. Please rest assured that the what follows in question is actually quite interesting. Really.
