A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

@steveo - specifically knitting. If you let the yarn slip when you are making a stitch, it can "drop" and cause a column of stitches to unravel; you then have to get a crochet hook and "pick up" (i.e. loop back together) all of the dropped stitches.

Well, until the 19th century, French spoken in France was technically only spoken in the Ille de France (area around Paris), the rest of the country spoke very different dialects (as different as Catalunya is to Espanol), and that's not taking into account Occitan, Basque, Breton, German and Flemish minorities back then.
