what's Flemish for amazing?
which pro lives in that building?
and can anyone think of anything cooler than Boonen with three other pros rolling up to your house and asking if you fancy a spin?
SOS
1910, from International Morse code letters, chosen arbitrarily as being easy to transmit and difficult to mistake. Not an acronym for "save our ship" or anything else. Won out over alternative suggestion C.Q.D., which is said to mean "come quickly, distress," or "CQ," general call for alerting other ships that a message follows, and "D" for danger. SOS is the telegraphic distress signal only; the oral equivalent is mayday.
