Can Pvc Pipe Freeze And Burst
Portrait of Camille Corot
H ears ago, she still went to school, I heard one of my teachers a wonderful story about the origin of the very popular word "Corot," which for those who live in Venezuela is widely used, but for those who do not know the meaning either because they live in these parts, or because he is a boy-girl too "Strawberry" to use the word "Corot", explain its meaning.
"Corot", in short, its meaning for this context according to the Royal English Academy of the league is "Any thing or object you want to mention whose real name is unknown, so the word COROT is used to refer to almost any material object of daily life, common and wild. Now, I will tell the story, which is rich in history of Venezuela.
For the times in which the leader Antonio Guzmán Blanco was President of the Republic, Venezuela began to undergo transformation cultural, architectural and social with a strong European influence, specifically French, as President Guzmán Blanco lived most of his years in Paris and what historians say, it seems that he was surprised and shocked by the "City of Lights", so once seized power in Venezuela, the President decided to influence the country of Bolivar with the elements of the almighty and cosmopolitan Paris. Among all these elements, the Chairman imported from France a beautiful and very expensive painting made by the famous landscape gardener Jean-Baptiste Camille Corot, the table referred to was his greatest personal treasures, so I had to treat it with much love and care. Because once you get the time of transfer of the picture, the leader claimed the makers put things in the presidential residence "Beware Corot, Corot Beware! "Maids, secretly mocking obsession Guzmán Blanco had the protection and care of Corot, used the term to refer to anything that had to be treated with care, so that presumably so was born the popular little word.
I spent all these years, counting and repeating the story as if it were divine truth, as it has many plausible elements, such as the historical context, cunning Venezuela, surrounded by myths and characters, and if we add that the story was a teacher to a group of teenagers secondary education, I do not think that would have reason to be suspicious of that, but it turns out that we all have a scientist on the inside that makes us sometimes want to check the veracity of the blue sky and white of the light, so I began to investigate.
universal The Internet I found an article from the Cervantes Virtual Center, which is the official website of the Instituto Cervantes, which in turn is one of the most respected institutions worldwide in the field the promotion and teaching of the English language that was specifically about the word "Corot."
In this article I could appreciate literature with scientific support and the word is a famous indigenous voice of peoples and their significance goes back long before the birth of the French landscape, which completely collapses the history of Guzmán Blanco and box. One of the most surprising things is that in the etymology of the word "clutter" is the meaning of testicles, so the change is remarkable that the term has suffered over the years, good for her I think, since in the Venezuelan culture of sexual nicknames do not last too many years, possibly because of the taboo on the subject of sex in general within our country, which is worth noting that is full of "double standards."
Where do I go with the topic?, Sure you're wondering why my dear friend or ally, I want to get to the point that one need not ever pretty convincing facts and failing to investigate, because the real truth is what will set us free (ha ha ha, I think this sentence is now trite), and moreover I want to get to the point where it can be seen that the Venezuelans are some wonderful anecdotes inventors and rapporteurs, and perhaps if we used that power of persuasion to do good, surely we would be much better, but that's just my point of view a particular, not a canonical view on the subject. I hope this post helps to help eliminate the lack of interest in research of some, because as Albert Einstein said " Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; of the first not quite sure " .
Thanks, thanks, thanks.
