Quote[/b] ]The meaning of the curious nonsense riddle: Why is a mouse when he spins? and its even sillier answer, The higher, the fewer. This was one of my father's favorites. The most interesting answer was that it is not altogether nonsense - properly it should go How is a mouse when it spins? - The higher, the fewer. And the meaning had to do with the centrifugal governor on an old steam engine - the weight was called the mouse, and as the engine rpm increased the mouse would rise due to centrifugal force. But as the mouse rose, the arm would force the steam valve in the more closed direction, thus reducing the rpm, that is, the higher (the mouse), the fewer (rpms). So for a given setting of the mouse on the arm, the engine would run at a constant speed.


Does that help?

This reminds me of a riddle that was popular in the Royal Air Force at one time:

Q: Why is a mouse when it spins?

A: Because the higher, the fewer!

If you know what that means, let me know.....

That does help in a way, I first heard it from a Coastal Command pilot who had flown a Sunderland on A/S sorties towards the end of the war, and he reckoned that the Sunderland had two distinguishing features; One, you could play cricket on its wings, and Two, in the words of the Engineers Song, the whole bl***y issue was driven by steam!

OK, I gotta believe that is some kind of British Joke...
Steam Aircraft? That big? The Shorts Sunderland was gas driven Right?

I know of an attempt at steam driven aircraft but I think that was like 3hp...

Was the joke that it was just big and bulky?

Nope, I don't think of Yanks as thick-headed ( you got to the moon!) but you do have trouble with our idioms (or is that idiots) at times. Yes, it was big and lumbering, he reckoned he could outwalk it on takeoff without working up a sweat, and the technology was so out of date that harnessing a set of copies of Stevensons Rocket to the props would probably have been an improvement, but as he flew it he had a right to be critical, I guess. It couldn't have been that bad because there is a record of one of them fighting off and all but destroying a half dozen Junkers 88's! (I hope I have that right!)

I'm not much into flyin'...
I was a sailor, figured I could swim a whole lot further horizontally than I could fly should I lose my ship!

But, its hard to image that thing fighting off anything, much less a few Junkers. Had to have been some serious flying to do that...

I don't know about that, sometimes the "English Majors" get pretty upset about that kind of thing.

Probably for the same reason 7-11 has locks on the doors.
