I was doing a little bit of research for a storyI’m working on, and I needed to find out what theparts of the zipper were called. I went out intothe living room to ask Emily, and she said shewasn’t sure but checking the internet might be agood idea. I scoffed at the thought … surely theinternet couldn’t hold knowledge that obscure.Surely not.

Well, itdoes. I found a wholepage of zipper terminology, but I had somedifficulty figuring out what some of them werereferring to. No worries, says the mighty website- just clickon our labeled diagrams.

Now, those sites probably are of very littleinterest to most of you, unless deep in theApplegeeks readership is hidden some strange formof zipper cult. The reason I post these links atall is more a testament to the internet, a nod ofthe head if you will. Internet, you truly are thegreatest purveyor of absolutely obscure knowledge.I bow to your … obscurity.
