I need to enrich my knowledge of the world and where better to start than tapping my fellow SCMer's up. Share your knowledge with me and anyone else who frequents this thread.
'Interesting' is subjective of course so probably best not to scoff at something you don't find interesting. Hit me with some facts and interesting observations.
I'll start - I know where the word 'Tantalise' comes from. The etymology comes from the Greek myth of a guy called Tantalus. Someone who hacked the gods off so much (I forget why) He was cursed to sit neck deep in a pool of water. Above him was a fruit tree with a single piece of fruit hanging over him. Everytime he went for a drink of the water it would disappear and the same when he tried to grab the fruit. Hence to tantalise.
And yep - I really am pretty bored today 😉
