He Left His Mark

After watching the final episode of Breaking Bad several times, I finally noticed something in the last scene, proving once again that the people involved in the show really put a LOT of thought into the tiniest details.

Here's a short video of the ending:

I hadn't noticed that when Walt's bloodstained hand slid down the stainless steel vessel, it had left a distinct "W".

It might have just been an accident, but I don't think so.

The Eyes Have It

You Are Whimsical

You are a dreamy, imaginative, and visual person. You paint complete pictures in your mind. Your daydreams are like movies. You can transport yourself to a time and place that you may or may not have seen before. You see the world from an upside down, inside out position. You just process everything differently. Your vivid imagination amplifies everything around you. One small object or occurrence can set off a chain of events in your mind. The world sees you as highly creative and enigmatic. Many people would like to 'pick your brain', but they don't know where to begin. People are blown away by the thoughts and ideas you do share with them. No one can wrap their heads around your way of thinking.

Happy Columbus Day!

The official name of the Niña (one of the three ships of Christopher Columbus) was the Santa Clara. It was common for ships of the time to have both an official religious name and a nickname which sometimes was the feminine form of the owner's name. That was the case with the Santa Clara, whose owner was Juan Niño of Moguer. (the feminine form of his name is Niña)

A Rat By Any Other Name

The Norway rat (commonly called the brown rat), did not originate in Norway, but rather from northern China.  The rats spread to Europe in the 16th century and were transported to North America in the mid-18th century on ships carrying grain from England.  They were named for Norway in the mistaken belief that they had arrived in England aboard Norwegian vessels.
