They are your egg-laying mammals, aren't they? Like the Platypus and the Echidna; and there may be another, if there is, its name escapes me.

He was a horse and Roman Senate nominee belonging to (I think) Caligula.
Edit: Oops, not Caligula's. Still open.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
I suspect you have margarine, not butter.
Quite a bit further south.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
Somewhere on the west coast of the Atlantic?
I have heard it in connection with sailing.
It may be a line from a book but I am not sure.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
Right general area, could you get a little more specific?
Re: Trivia Question of the Day
I'll go for somewhere in the West Indies but, if it is from a book, then, perhaps, it is a specifc harbour.
No doubt Mr Google has the answer but I consider that cheating.

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
The West Indies is quite correct.
The saying reputedly dates back to the early Transatlantic crossings, and was a guide on where to pick up the Trade Winds, south of the Canaries.
And I can personally confirm that it works, as I kept some butter out to check, and it started to melt the very day all the modern goodies told me it was the right time to turn.
All yours!

Re: Trivia Question of the Day
More than that, it is correctly a sea mist on the North East coast of Scotland and Northern England. Specific to that location.
Re: Trivia Question of the Day
I think Wodrick wins the prize.
Well done, your turn.
When I lived to the north of Aberdeen, it surprised me that at this time of the year the haar occurred often, compared to the rest of the year.
