    • @rcrawford42
      @rcrawford42 Місяць тому +17

      "Spatula" is the Latin diminutive for "spatha", so a "spatula" is a "little sword". So the name works even better.
      (And "Caligula" is the same for "caligae" -- soldier's boots. So Emperor Caligula was "Little Boots" or, as I prefer, "Bootsie".)

      You probably will hate to learn this, but you have hundreds of tiny mites living on and in your skin right now. ;) They're called Demodex mites, and they mostly hang out in your hair follicles and eat the dead skin and oil that your skin produces. For the vast majority of people the mites cause no harm; they're actually useful as they help keep your skin clean. But a small minority unfortunately do develop allergies to the mites (or more accurately, their feces).
