nrogers Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 The opposite end from the hitting bit of the hammer is called the peen. Only for the Ball Peen Hammer, this isn't the case for a claw hammer, a framing hammer, a geologists hammer or a lump hammer. Sorry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My memory is vague, it's something that was on QI. Stephen Fry is never wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drat01 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Mr Fry is right The capital and largest city of Thailand is Bangkok. It is also the country's centre of political, commercial, industrial and cultural activities. Bangkok is known in Thai as "Krung Thep Mahanakorn," or, more colloquially, "Krung Thep." and wrong - depends where you are and what language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted November 4, 2008 VT Supporter Share Posted November 4, 2008 Useless facts and trivia day is 9th March. The name Seoul, capital of South Korea, just means 'capital' in Korean.That's a bit like the fact that most Native American tribe names - like "Cheyenne" - just mean "people" or "human beings" in their particular language.
