PJ-STFC Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Pig iron is so named because the molten newly-smelted iron was once poured into moulds resembling rows of suckling pigs.

PJ-STFC Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 "Zebra" is a medical term for an obscure and unlikely diagnosis from ordinary symptoms. It derives from the quote "When you hear hoofbeats behind you, don't expect to see a zebra." by Dr. Theodore Woodward. ( It is also phrased as "When you hear hoofbeats, think horses, not zebras.")
