A marmite is a French stock pot or cooking pot—like the one pictured on the front of the jar and shaped somewhat like the jar itself. The name of the French pot is pronounced "mar-MEET." The product name may have been derived from a famous French soup, petite marmite.

Marmite is dark brown-colored savory spread made from the yeast that is a by-product of the brewing industry. It has a very strong, slightly salty flavor. It is definitely a love-it-or-hate-it type of food. Children in Britain are generally fed it from the time they are weaned, and most never grow out of it. It has a high B-vitamin content, as well as riboflavin and niacin—and as such is very healthy. (The vitamin-B complex helps prevent anemia.

Marmite, which we all eat here in England and which is what makes us English, is a source of vitamin B12, actually a compound containing cobalt. The equivalent, but altogether blander, in Australia is Vegemite. Marmite is available in the USA. Try mixing it with peanut butter. Cobalt is a brittle, hard, transition metal with magnetic properties similar to those of iron. Cobalt is present in meteorites. Ore deposits are found in Zaire, Morocco and Canada.

There certainly are. For a real taste treat, try Walker's Crisps (that's Brit-speak for potato chips) with Marmite flavoring. We've also been dying to try Marmite Mania, a gooey cheese and marmite spread. We think it would be perfect on rye toast. And then there's the old standby, Twiglets, which resemble small tree branches coated with Marmite flavor.

The Wayback Machine is named in reference to the famous Mr. Peabody's WABAC (pronounced way-back) machine from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show.

In case this isn't really everything you would like to know, you might try a search at our favorite search engine: Sorry to be a pedant, but Jerry Hall actually advertised Bovril, not Marmite. Likewise, the joke at Comic Relief referred to the beefy brown stuff. Marmite's recent adverts have been most amusing, featuring the slogan "I hate Marmite" and focusing on its phobes rather than its philes, attesting to the unique relationship British folk have with Marmite.

Neural therapy was developed by two German physician-dentist brothers, Walter and Ferdinand Huneke, in the 1920s and '30s. They accidentally found that procaine—a local anesthetic—when injected into certain spots such as scars, can relieve pain in areas away from the place of injection. They also found that the pain relief lasts much longer than would be expected from the anesthetic effect alone. The brothers called these spots interference fields.

Since the editor's (my) third year at medical school each article or book read, lecture attended, web site navigated or patient seen has been a potential source. In 1986 I contemplated hand written notes from two lectures. One was a list of symptoms and signs of chronic myeloid leukaemia, the other a list of causes of splenomegaly. Chronic myeloid leukaemia is a cause of splenic enlargement.

Trying to find out what material an airship was made from, he tapped his finger against the fully pressurized envelope of a non-rigid Navy airship. The general described the sound he heard, "blimp," and blimps have been called blimps ever since.

A dog will begin her heat or estrus cycle at different times depending on the breed but typically it begins between 6 and 8 months of age.

The Great Dane was developed to hunt the wild boar of Europe (and hence the cropped ears typically seen on Danes in the US). The Germans are generally credited with developing the Dane as it exists today. It is generally accepted that the Great Dane is descended from some type of mastiff and wolfhound. The Great Dane breed is at least 400 years old but there are drawings of a dog which resemble the Great Dane on Egyptian monuments of 3000 B.C.
