AMT412: Widow’s Peaks, Mixtapes and Garlic
Q: Helen, answer me this. Why is it called a widow's peak when your hair comes to a small point in the middle of your forehead?
It's reminiscent of how 18th, 19th century widows would wear these hoods or caps that had a little point down the middle.
AMT412: Widow’s Peaks, Mixtapes and Garlic
Q: Helen, answer me this. What is the deal with the Frankfurt Market in Birmingham? Is it even tied to Frankfurt at all?
Frankfurt and Birmingham are twin towns, and their Christmas market has been going since 2001, but it is often quite disappointing if you actually want to buy things at them.
AMT412: Widow’s Peaks, Mixtapes and Garlic
Q: Olly, answer me this. Would you send a letter in a situation like this to at least let them know how much data they are unknowingly sharing?
No, the best thing to do would be for me to get a new email.

Q: What is the tradition of open top bus parades?
They originated from processions for victorious athletes, evolving to modern celebratory parades, mainly in sports.
