    I read that too fast and it registered as Capuchin monkey, which I guess also works. 8F7DB85E-8...0-jpeg.jpg 8F7DB85E-85C4-437B-809C-3E5A91993A5C-5d28b32314a80-jpeg.jpg

    That's also why the Swiss country code is CH, like on the rear of a car: Confederatio Helvetica, "confederation of the Helvetian tribes".

    Does this come from the French word "baiser" which means "to kiss"? Breads that kiss in the oven... I loaf this romantic idea! ;-)

    For anyone wondering why: A cliché muscle has a thick middle part that tapers towards the tendons. Hence, it looks a little like the body of a mouse.

    Related in the sense that both refer to doors/gates (ianua in latin) --- janitor= doorkeeper; Ianus= god of beginnings and endings/passages.
