About this deal

Maybe we can introduce some controlled roughness, or weird shapes, to increase the diversity of the flow. Or maybe we can dramatically change the ship shape and come up with some novel profiles,” he says.

One group of stalked barnacles have adapted to a rafting lifestyle, where they are drifting around close to the water's surface. They will colonize every floating object, such as driftwood, and like some non-stalked barnacles, also attach themselves to marine animals. The species most specialized for this lifestyle is Dosima fascicularis, which secretes a gas-filled cement that makes it float at the surface.

Official route drawn by Moulinsart and Studios Hergé. Moulinsart and Studios Hergé . Retrieved 3 March 2014. Like many English words and phrases, the description of something reliable as “copper-bottomed” has a maritime origin. Barnacles have two distinct larval stages, the nauplius and the cyprid, before developing into a mature adult.

Another example of the use of alliteration is in the phrase “Thundering typhoons” which replaced the original phrase “Tonnerre de Brest”. Many theories about the French phrase abound on the internet. It is said that it could refer to a common French cliché that Brest experiences more stormy weather than the average town or to the thunderous roar of cannon fired from the Brest Arsenal. By searching Google.fr you will find a Wikipedia article in French all about the phrase. It cites three possible origins: one to a huge clap of thunder in Brest in April 1718; one to the daily firing of the cannon at the Brest Arsenal at 6.00 am and 7.00 p.m.; and a third to the use of the cannon to warn the people of Brest about escaping prisoners. Whatever the definition of the phrase, it is as nebulous as “thundering typhoons”. A term frequency search across the Gale Primary Sources, a database of 17 th, 18 th and 19 th century news sources available via LibrarySearch reveals that the exclamation “Thundering typhoons!” was probably an invention of the translators, presumably for its dramatic sonorous effect. One could argue that the phrase is in keeping with the colonial geopolitics which pervade the stories, and reveals the depth of understanding of the translators for the author and the world that he is conveying in his fiction. You can read more about “Identity and geopolitics in Hergé’s Adventures of Tintin” in an article by Oliver Dunnett available via Taylor and Francis journals on LibrarySearch. [ii] Oxford English Dictionary (OED) The word "barnacle" is attested in the early 13th century as "bernekke" and originally referred to a species of goose. Because the full life cycles of both barnacles and geese was unknown at the time, (geese spend their breeding seasons in the Arctic) a folktale emerged that geese hatched from barnacles. It was not applied strictly to the invertebrate until the 1580s. The ultimate meaning of the word "barnacle" is unknown. [11] [12] Life cycle [ edit ]

So imbued with current affairs were Hergé’s storylines, says Farr, that the day after he died, the French newspaper Libération was able to illustrate every single news story with a Tintin frame. “The Blue Lotus anticipates Pearl Harbour,” he says. “Tintin was on the moon 16 years before Armstrong. And I’m sure that, if and when the yeti is finally found, it will be just like Hergé drew it in Tintin in Tibet.” The Gare du Midi station in Brussels contains a huge reproduction of a panel from Tintin in America.
