今年BB取名最独特的名字揭晓：
This year we’ve been introduced to quite a few interesting baby names.
We met Elon Musk’s new baby boy named X Æ A-12.
We also meet little Covid Bryant, a ‘combo-name’ to reflect the coronavirus pandemic and death of famous basketballer Kobe Bryant.
And then there was baby Sanitiser.

但是：
McCrindle Research has released the most popular Aussie baby names - none of those three is included, sadly.

三碗不入熊山
Drunken man wrestles bear after breaking into zoo enclosure
醉鬼与熊瞎子在水中展开博斗，场面惊险激烈。幸而最后人熊罢战，但似乎大熊惊魂未定。
A spokesperson for the zoo said the man was lucky the female bear had a circus background and was used to humans.
“The female bear, named Sabina, was surprised by the man’s actions and is now sitting in the water and nervously roaring every now and then,” zoo spokesperson Anna Karczewska told local media.
Karczewska also said that the man was lucky to still be alive as Sabina was the only bear around at the time.
这醉鬼得免于一死归于这熊曾在马戏团供职，并且事发当日围中只有这一只熊，母的。

这酒，喝出点意思来了。

回看了一下自己帖子，三年前曾讨论了一次AM与PM。
Is 12pm noon or midnight?

没想到今晚看ABC新闻又看到类似文章
Does '12pm' exist? We could argue about it until the end of time
提问点不同，但也还是围着这12pm。到底有没有12pm。这是个可以讨论至世界末日的问题。

感兴趣的地方在于
As midday is meridiem — that is, midday, the mid-point around which the other times are ordered — it cannot be said to be post itself.
                                        11:59am, 12:00—, 12:01pm
Do you really want a clock that goes 11:59am, 12:00—, 12:01pm? Is anyone seriously proposing 12:00m?
                                                        12:00m
这样说可以吗
12noon
noon, in its Latin and early English senses, did not denote "midday" at all, but rather "about three o'clock".

Is 12:00pm a real time?
Does 12:00pm exist?

取了一个哈。刚好是50多岁人的俗名。类似“桂花，翠平”之类的。更幽的是女儿的英文名是“20年代”老奶奶的名字。

我对英文名没啥了解，有时候只看名字我都猜不出男女，除非特别明显的
