    If Pluto’s discoverer had lived to see the planet downgraded to a ‘dwarf’, he could have taken consolation from the fact that he will be the first person not only to have seen it but to travel through its orbit. Discovery of a planet or celestial body must be a bittersweet experience. Unlike the Earth-bound explorers of history, space pioneers never get to visit the far-flung objects they’ve discovered in the seemingly endless darkness of the solar system and beyond. However Clyde Tombaugh will come pretty close. Tombaugh first observed Pluto in 1930, when he was 24 years old and…

  • An Unexpected Pidgin Pair

    Small Bright Pebbles
    3 Jan 2012 | 12:09 am
    We’re used to hearing about pidgin dialects combining English and another language (for example, Chinese, where the word ‘pidgin’ originated). Potentially any two languages could develop their own pidgin form of speaking. So if you could imagine the most unlikely pairing of languages to create a pidgin, what would it be? How about, say, Icelandic and Basque? Whale Fishing Woodcut, 1574 Surprisingly, this really did exist. Whalers from the Basque region of south-western France based themselves in Iceland from the beginning of the 17th century. Despite some conflict (including…

  • Roald Amundsen, Pioneer at the Ends of the Earth

    Small Bright Pebbles
    12 Dec 2011 | 6:42 pm
    It’s one hundred years this week* since Roald Amundsen reached the South Pole, becoming the leader of the first expedition to reach this inhospitable point on the Earth (and beating British explorer Robert Scott by a month). But it wasn’t the only—or even the first—time that the Norwegian explorer secured his place in history. Amundsen’s South Pole expedition placed him at the forefront of the grandly named ‘Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration’, a 25 year period in which there was a flurry of expeditions to the southern-most continent. But he had previously…

  • Deep Purple: Hard Rock with a Mild Mannered Name

    Small Bright Pebbles
    31 Oct 2011 | 7:48 pm
    How many hard rock bands have been named after the title of a song which came before? Probably hundreds. It’s the ultimate fan tribute, and immediately labels a band by style and musical influence. Deep Purple, on the other hand, was named after a song, but the resemblance to its namesake well and truly ends there. Deep Purple knows how to rock hard, and loud. Very loud. The band was listed as ‘Loudest Pop Group’ in the 1975 edition of the Guinness Book of Records with this citation: The amplification for Deep Purple on their 10,000 watt Marshall P.A. system attains 117…

  • What is the Opposite of a Blockbuster?

    Small Bright Pebbles
    24 Oct 2011 | 8:09 pm
    In movies, the opposite of a blockbuster is a bomb: no prizes for getting that answer right. But look a little further into the background of the word blockbuster and it gets more interesting. Blockbuster is a fairly young word whose meaning evolved almost as soon as it was coined. In film jargon, a blockbuster is a movie produced on a grand scale and earning a massive following. Queues of film-goers snaking out of the cinema are associated with blockbusters. The earliest films to be branded this way were in the 1970s: Jaws and Star Wars are among the first examples. Previously, blockbuster…
