From: dieterhansbritz@gmail.com I thought this is a German word and wondered about it. But I am told it's Dutch, where Winkel means shop, hence a shopping cart. Why is shop Winkel in Dutch? I suspect that Winkel, as in German, means angle. -- db --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
