Eyes are the Window of the soul
by caliber inscientists discover that eyes really are 'the window to the soul'left: distinct contraction furrows (marked '3') - a sign of the person being neurotic.
right: numerous 'crypts' lines going away from the iris (marked '1') - this signifies a warm-hearted and trustworthy person.
the eyes really are a window to the soul, according to scientists.. patterns in the iris can give an indication of whether we are warm and trusting or neurotic and impulsive, research has found.. everyone has a different structure of lines, dots and colours in their iris.. so scientists at orebro university in sweden compared the eyes of 428 subjects with their personality traits to see if these structures in the iris reflected their characters.. they focused on patterns in crypts - threads which radiate from the pupil - and contraction furrows - lines curving around the outer edge - which are formed when the pupils dilate.. their findings showed those with denselypacked crypts are more warmhearted, tender, trusting, and likely to sympathise with others.

curious expressions--origins
by caliber inthe full monty - the full potential of anything, or recently, full frontal nudity (since the film of the same name) - the two much earlier origins are: 1. field marshall montgomery's insistence on a full english breakfast every morning, and 2. a full sunday-best suit and tie outfit from the tailors montague burton.. .
bus - passenger vehicle - an abbreviation from the original 18-19th century horse-drawn 'omnibus' which in latin means 'for all' (which is also the derivation of the term 'omnibus' when used to describe a whole week's tv soap episodes put together in one torturous weekend compilation).
unrelated but interestingly, french slang for the horse-drawn omnibus was 'four banal' which translated then to 'parish oven' - what a wonderful expression.. caddie or caddy - person who carries clubs and assists a golfer - caddie is a scottish word (scotland's golf origins date back to the 1500s) and is derived from the french word 'cadet', which described a young gentleman who joined the army without a commission, originally meaning in french a younger brother.
