[00:00]wedge
[00:02]Robert Fulton once wrote, "The mechanic should sit
[00:06]down among levers, screws, wedges, wheels, etc., like
[00:11]a poet among the letters of the alphabet, considering
[00:14]them as an exhibition of his thoughts, in which a new
[00:17]arrangement transmits a new idea."
[00:23]sledge
[00:25]The snowy slopes beckon and the urge to hurtle down
[00:29]them takes over but there is no sledge available. So you
[00:34]grab a tea tray, an old bag, a coat - or, if you are a police
[00:38]officer, a riot shield.
[00:42]smudge
[00:44]Jets safety Jim Leonhard has a bright pink shiner under
[00:49]his left eye to match the bright pink smudge on the right
[00:53]thumb that he broke earlier this season.
[00:56]ridge
[00:57]The underwater landscape of 6,000m deep trenches,
[01:02]oceanic ridges and sea mounts, is also a refuge and
[01:06]breeding ground for large and important populations of
[01:10]sharks, dolphins, marine turtles, rare crabs, birds and
[01:15]other vulnerable species.
[01:19]lodge
[01:21]In Britain its chronology still overhangs the national
[01:24]curriculum. Its poems and songs-such poems, such
[01:28]songs, as if war's horror and nonsense had never been
[01:33]articulated before - still lodge in people's heads.
[01:40]helmet
[01:42]"We're really sorry he has become paralyzed, but
[01:45]helmets aren't designed to prevent those kinds of
[01:48]injuries," says Nimmons.
[01:51]comet
[01:53]A swarm of comets that smacked North America 12,900
[01:57]years ago wiped out the wooly mammoth and early Native
[02:01]American cultures, according to a soil study released
[02:05]Thursday.
[02:07]hazard
[02:10]The misuse of UK passports not only presented
[02:13]a hazard to British nationals in the region but also
[02:17]represented a "profound disregard" for the sovereignty of
[02:20]the United Kingdom, the foreign secretary said.
