En Español - Cosas Curiosas

Cosas curiosas sobre Medios de Transporte, el automóvil más vendido de la historia, de donde salió el ancho de los caminos, etc.



El ancho de vía en los ferrocarriles de Estados Unidos y es de 4 pies y 8.5 pulgadas. Un numero bastante extraño.

¿Por qué se usa precisamente esa anchura? Porque así es como se hace en Gran Bretaña, y las primeras vías americanas fueron construidas por ingleses (como en muchos otros lugares del mundo).


¿Por qué los ingleses usaban ese ancho? Porque los primeros ferrocarriles fueron construidos por las mismas personas que habían construido los antiguos tranvías y esta es la anchura que usaban.


¿Y por que ellos usaban tal cifra? Porque para hacer las vías de los tranvías utilizaban las mismas plantillas y herramientas que se usaban para construir carruajes, que usaban ese espacio entre ruedas.


¿Y por qué los carruajes usaban esa extraña cifra de espacio entre ruedas? Porque si hubiesen usado otra cualquiera se hubiesen roto en algún viejo camino inglés, ya que esa es la distancia entre las huellas dejadas por las ruedas de un carro llamadas Roderas.


¿Y Quién construyo esos viejos caminos con roderas con esas medidas? Las primeras carreteras de larga distancia en Europa (e Inglaterra) fueron construidas por los romanos para sus legiones y han sido usadas desde entonces en las regiones del antiguo Imperio.


¿Y las roderas en esos caminos? Los carros de guerra de las legiones romanas formaron las roderas iniciales, que cualesquiera otros tenían que imitar por miedo a destruir las ruedas de sus carruajes. Ya que los carros fueron hechos para (o por) el Imperio Romano, eran todos iguales en cuanto a espacio entre ruedas.


El ancho de vía estándar de 4 pies y 8.5 pulgadas y deriva de las especificaciones originales para un carro de guerra romano. Esa medida es la que corresponde al ancho de dos caballos.


El auto más vendido de la historia es el Corolla de Toyota con 23 millones de unidades (desde 1966) superando al Beetle de Wolkswagen con 21.5 millones de unidades desde 1937 hasta 2003.

Según la ley, las carreteras interestatales en Estados Unidos requieren que una milla de cada cinco sea recta. Estas secciones son útiles como pistas de aterrizaje en casos de emergencia y de guerra.

El nombre Jeep viene de la abreviación del ejército americano de "General Purpose" Vehicle, o sea "G.P." pronunciado en inglés.

En Italia no se puede sacar el registro de conducir sin saber andar en bicicleta.

Los tranvías de San Francisco son el único monumento nacional móvil en EUA.

Valentine's Day

Next Monday, we'll celebrate Valentine's Day. So, my students from Kids 3 learned about this festival and we wrote some special cards. Take a look at the history about Valentine's Day and after this, some photos...

Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint, and where did these traditions come from? The history of Valentine's Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death. According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl — who may have been his jailor's daughter — who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today.

See ya, guys...
