Random information on the term “TRAP”:
Animal trapping, or simply trapping, is the use of a device to remotely catch an animal. Animals may be trapped for a variety of purposes, including food, the fur trade, hunting, pest control, and wildlife management.
Neolithic hunters, including the members of the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture of Romania and Ukraine (ca. 5500-2750 BC), used traps to capture their prey. A passage from the self-titled book by Taoist philosopher Zhuangzi describes Chinese methods used for trapping animals during the 4th century BC. The Zhuangzi reads, “The sleek-furred fox and the elegantly spotted leopard…can’t seem to escape the disaster of nets and traps.” “Modern” steel jaw-traps were first described in western sources as early as the late 16th century. The first mention comes from Leonard Mascall’s book on animal trapping. It reads, “a griping trappe made all of yrne, the lowest barre, and the ring or hoope with two clickets.” [sic] The mousetrap, with a strong spring device spring mounted on a wooden base, was first patented by William C. Hooker of Abingdon, Illinois, in 1894.
Random information on the term “SCAM”:
“Scam” is a song by the British band Jamiroquai. The song appeared on the band’s second album, The Return of the Space Cowboy. It is most often cited by fans as one of the most powerful protest songs by the band. Live performances of the song during the The Return of the Space Cowboy tour usually began with a lengthy trumpet solo, and have placed the song at the end of a long chain of songs segued into one another (most often in the order “Blow Your Mind”, “Light Years”, “Who the Funk Do You Think You Are?”, “Emergency on Planet Earth”, “Scam”). During the following tours, the song was mostly standalone. A “smooth remix” of the song was planned for a cancelled remix album called Interpretations from Beyond, which was scheduled to be released after Travelling Without Moving.
The song was created by merging two live-only Jamiroquai songs from the Emergency on Planet Earth era, “Do That Dance” and “Life Goes on” into one. Many elements were taken from both of the songs, such as the horn/trumpet line from the chorus of “Life Goes On”, and some chord progressions from “Do That Dance”. The album version of the song took heavy damage in terms of sound fidelity, as it was reduced to an “early radio”-like quality.
Random information on the term “CON”:
A confidence trick (synonyms include confidence game, confidence scheme, ripoff, scam and stratagem) is an attempt to defraud a person or group after first gaining their confidence, used in the classical sense of trust. Confidence tricks exploit characteristics of the human psyche such as dishonesty, vanity, compassion, credulity, irresponsibility, naïveté and greed.
The perpetrator of a confidence trick (or “con trick”) is often referred to as a confidence (or “con”) man, con-artist, or a “grifter”. Samuel Thompson (1821–1856) was the original “confidence man.” Thompson was a clumsy swindler who asked his victims to express confidence in him by giving him money or their watch rather than gaining their confidence in a more nuanced way. A few people trusted Thompson with their money and watches. Thompson was arrested in July 1849. Reporting about this arrest, Dr. James Houston, a reporter of the New York Herald, publicized Thompson by naming him the “Confidence Man”. Although Thompson was an unsuccessful scammer, he gained reputation as a genius operator mostly because Houston’s satirical writing wasn’t understood. The National Police Gazette coined the term “confidence game” a few weeks after Houston first used the name, the “confidence man.”
