Agulheta

Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre.

Agulhetas de cobre, plástico e bronze.

Uma agulheta é uma pequena peça de plástico ou metal tipicamente encontrada em cada ponta de um cadarço, corda ou demais fios. Uma agulheta mantém unidas as fibras, impedindo que esgarcem, além de afilar e dar firmeza à ponta, facilitando o manuseio e a inserção nos ilhós ou semelhantes.

A palavra agulheta é diminutivo de agulha, ambas derivando do latim acucla (por sua vez diminutivo de acus). A agulheta dessa forma é uma agulha no fim de uma corda, cumprindo funções semelhantes.

As agulhetas são geralmente feitas de plástico, mas no passado já foram feitas de metal, vidro ou pedra. Muitas eram ricamente ornamentadas, feitas de metais preciosos como prata. Antes da invenção de botões, elas eram utilizadas no final de cordas e laços para fechar peças de roupa. Por vezes eram decoradas em forma de pequenas figuras, as quais William Shakespeare chamava de "aglet baby" em Domesticação do Rebelde.

Durante um certo tempo na Grande Depressão, as agulhetas eram feitas de papel e cola.

Agulhetas caseiras podem ser feitas de fita adesiva, cera, resina, cola, linha, canudos ou pequenos canos, ou mesmo dando nó ou derretendo o final do cadarço ou corda.[1]

Lettris

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.

boggle

Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !
