How about some brandy and a cigar?

 

[DJinCO]

That would be very sophisticated.

Mmmm a nice Cuban and JW can't beat that

 

[LagunaH1]

I'll opt for a really good dark chocolate with my scotch

 

[Sircode13]

Brandy sounds good, but don't smoke.

Huh. No comprende'

OK. I'll go to bed now.

Here's a thought for you to ponder.

There are AA, AAA, AAAA batteries; C & D batteries. Why are there no B batteries?

I know the answer... anyone care to offer the answer?

 

[cbetts]

There are B cells. They are most commonly found within a European 4.5 volt lantern battery.

 

[Sircode13]

Cause battery starts w/a "B"?

[LagunaH1]

The googles claim that it's because they once were higher voltage batteries and are no longer needed

 

[DJinCO]

OK, cbetts, why does the USA not sell B cells? aka Duracell or Eveready?

 

[DJinCO]

Google don't know everything. Ha.:giggle:

 

[LagunaH1]

Something about lymphocytes and nasties?

[DJinCO]

I asked this question many years ago (before the internet, yes, when one had to actually write a letter, put a stamp on an envelope and wait two weeks for a reply.) and I contacted Eveready.

The answer is....



should I wait... I am kind of tired....



got to get up early.....

OK.

Back in the old days when e-lec-tricity was a new fangled adventure, batteries were two cells connected, one positive, one negative. Thus the A battery and the B battery. When dry cell batteries came about, many old timers, who refused to read instructions, assumed that the new batteries would be the same instead of having a positive and negative on a single battery.

I can attest to the fact that some old timers are hard headed. My father is 85 this month, and there's no telling him anything. If he doesn't know it, he'll make up an answer. Beyond that he doesn't really care.

Anyway, the battery manufacturers decided that A's , C's and D's would work, thus eliminating the attempt by stubborn old men to connect unlike batteries together to fit in a flashlight.

There you have it.
We can all go to be knowing that we have learned another bit of useless trivia that you can use... ok, maybe never, but at least you can think you are smarter than a 5th grader.
