Elizabethan collar for Rundum-Halskrause Explanation: I hope this is not really about animals! An Elizabethan collar is used to prevent a dog or cat from licking its wounds or pulling out stitches. It also prevents them from using some of their senses (smelling, hearing) in a rear direction. Have a look at the Goggle pictures. Maybe it means that you can enhance the face and blur the body or vv. I might be on the wrong track, but following it, Schmidt's Katze is the Smith family's cat, you get a clear picture of the cat and blur the family. Good idea. Schmalkopferte brings me back to cats. People with small faces have a 'Katzenkopferl' or a 'Katzenkopf'. (can't find this in any Duden-Edition, but know it, and will try to prove) Maybe we just want to bring a small face in the background to the front. The handbag! Can you pick some lady's bag and move it closer to the poor cat? The hopefully following technical data shoud clarify the mistery. Inhallation .... Back to cats. They like to snuggle into armpits, or roll in a sweaty t-shirt of their favourite person. But without any supporting pictures we are lost. The Elizabethan Collar might help. HTH Schmidt's Katze is The Smith family's cat -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-01-31 02:34:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately I can\'t prove my interpretation of Katzenköpfchen,Katzenkopferl, Sorrry! I guess Schmalkopferte are just faces in the background. |

2 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +6
peer agreement (net): +6with a carrying case for every Tom and Jerry Explanation: I guess we all know who Tom and Jerry are... you could really get carried away, and make it for every Dick, Tom and Jerry, but that's taking it a bit far. Inhalation masks for undersize patients. Basically, the author did get carried away, and is trying to list ridiculous inventions. A bit of poetic license is allowed. |
