The steam issues from a narrow annular             orifice around the upper edge of the lower cup or             hemisphere, striking the thin edge of the bell above it,             and producing sound in the manner of an organ pipe or a             common whistle.

Stone Age n.,adj.   1. In computer folklore, an ill-defined    period from ENIAC (ca. 1943) to the mid-1950s; the great age of    electromechanical {dinosaur}s.   Sometimes used for the entire period    up to 1960-61 (see {Iron Age}); however, it is funnier and more    descriptive to characterize the latter period in terms of a `Bronze    Age' era of transistor-logic, pre-ferrite-{core} machines with drum    or CRT mass storage (as opposed to just mercury delay lines and/or    relays).   See also {Iron Age}.   2. More generally, a pejorative for    any crufty, ancient piece of hardware or software technology.   Note    that this is used even by people who were there for the {Stone Age}    (sense 1).

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sitting       the attitude generally assumed in Palestine by those who were       engaged in any kind of work. "The carpenter saws, planes, and       hews with his hand-adze, sitting on the ground or upon the plank       he is planning. The washerwoman sits by the tub; and, in a word,       no one stands when it is possible to sit. Shopkeepers always       sit, and Levi sitting at the receipt of custom (Matt. 9:9) is       the exact way to state the case.", Thomson, Land and Book.
