#Hydronomastics is the study of #hydronyms, the proper names of bodies of water.

It's a branch of #toponomastics, the study of #toponyms (the proper names of places), which in turn is a branch of #onomastics, the study of #orthonyms (proper names).

“...his birthday was August 7th – which happens to be mine, so we were sold. We named him Nelson, after @WillieNelson , one of my @carrahroy’s and my favorite musicians, and the centerpiece of the night of our first date in Austin, Texas @StubbsAustin.” (2/x) #Nelson

#HistoriaDeEspaña 21/10/1805 De noche, muy mal tiempo, viento y fuertes tormentas, la flota hispano francesa es destruida frente al cabo de #Trafalgar (#Cádiz) por la escuadra británica al mando del Vicealmirante #Nelson, que fallece en la batalla por un francotirador francés. ImageImageImageImage
En el "Redoubtable", un francotirador apostado en la cofa a unos doce metros de altura sobre la cubierta lo tiene fácil ya que el Vicealmirante es conocido por lo llamativo de su uniforme y más en concreto por los brillantes distintivos que normalmente luce en la pechera. ImageImageImage
Con cuidado observa entre el humo de la batalla, y ve el despampanante uniforme que exhibe Nelson. Contiene la respiración y dispara. La bala del mosquete alcanza el brazo izquierdo del Vicealmirante, le perfora el pulmón y se detiene en la base de su columna. Image

1) It's Christmas in DC!

Facebook CEO #MarkZuckerberg making PERSONAL <AND> CORPORATE donations to congress right now BEFORE testimony.

It's time to #FollowTheMoney and #FollowTheFamily

#QAnon #GreatAwakening @realDonaldTrump
2) #Zuckerberg sold more stock than any other insider of the past 3 months.
The money is needed to payoff house and senate panels.
It also allowed him to sell a small portion of his fortune at the top of the market.
