Nod Ripper, I think I might have read that same story on the Guardian. A cautionary tale for sure, if that hand gesture can save even one innocent life, we should all learn it and pass it along.
And way late, by about thirty years, yet today I received my masters degree in history! Not sure what I'll do with it, teaching doesn't really appeal, might suck up another couple years of lectures and go for the PhD. Who knows, just really glad to at least finally finish this part!!~
I wonder why. The 1845-1850 period is the most interesting part of the 19th Century to me although my main interest is 1780-1800.I really wanted to do the Mexican-American war era, yet that premise got rejected.

Is this a real patent thing?The original patent from 1891 for a toilet paper roll shows the correct rolling direction.
Source:It's an argument that has plagued most households at least once, but now the age-old question of whether toilet paper should sit under or over the roll has finally been solved.
How? By a 124-year-old patent from 22 December 1891 which clearly illustrates an 'over' arrangement for toilet paper.
Writer Owen Williams discovered the toilet paper patent online, and wasted no time in sharing his new-found information with his 8,000 followers on Twitter.
The patent was created by the inventor of perforated toilet paper sheets, New York business man Seth Wheeler.
Wheeler, who was also the owner of the Albany Perforated Wrapping Sheet Company, undoubtedly innovated the way toilet paper is created and used in this way.
Included in the patent, are Seth's declarations on his new product: 'Be it known that I, SETH WHEELER, of the city and county of Albany, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Paper Rolls.'
Apparently it is.

Normally I would not quote something of the Daily Mail, but it is one of the oldest sources I could find, after having stumbled on the picture in my Twitter timeline, looking it up on https://tineye.com/
I could not find the original tweet of Owen Williams who some label as a journalist, instead of a writer, as mentioned by the Daily Mail.
