First of all, Mercedez-Benz, how about doing something useful like activating the brakes or the airbags, instead of preparing my ears for a collision?? Also, who says ears have muscles?? I’m gonna go with “Not” on this one.
I’m not surprised to find that J was the last letter to be added to the alphabet since January and February were the last months to be added to the calendar.
I prefer the safety features on vehicles that help prevent the whole collision rather than protect the hearing from damage incurred BECAUSE of a collision. Good think I won’t be leasing an MB.
The letters I and J were the same letter in Latin as were U and V. It is only their use as consonants as well as vowels which caused them to evolve into separate letters. Interestingly, names are one of the last places we can see this. For instance, Jan and Ian are both variants of John.

Well, J merged from I, right? (Is White’s claps counted per clap {as in like clap-clap-clap is three claps} or per episode?)

No wonder Janis sang about wanting a Mercedes Benz. Or Pebbles offered her boyfriend a ride in her Mercedes.

Wheel of Fortune was first broadcast on the January 6th 1975 the day I was born.

“Co-host” is a fancy word for “person who stands there while Pat does all the work”.
