Signal -> TETRA

Quote

Terrestrial Trunked Radio[1] (TETRA; formerly known as Trans-European Trunked Radio), a European standard for a trunked radio system, is a professional mobile radio[2] and two-way transceiver specification. TETRA was specifically designed for use by government agencies, emergency services, (police forces, fire departments, ambulance) for public safety networks, rail transport staff for train radios, transport services and the military.[3] TETRA is the European version of trunked radio, similar to Project 25.

Digitalfunk der Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgaben (BOSnet) is the German Tetra system. It is the biggest network world wide of its art. Sirens were triggered by BOSnet and howling yesterday because of a forest fire just 9km away.

giant squid -> mediterran

The main prey of sperm whales is the giant squid. There are sperm whales in the eastern mediterran. I wonder if there are unseen giant squids too......

Scylla and Charybdis -> plague

Being between Scylla and Charybdis would be 'wählen zwischen Pest und Cholera' (choosing between plague and cholera). It is a saying when you can choose only between equally bad alternatives.

locusts -> blue-winged grasshopper

Always a 'whow-effect'. They are perfectly camouflaged on the stony ground at the hill behind the house. But if you get too close they move their blue rear-wings out and dart away, suddenly a very colourful flying thing.

Spoiler

There once was a lady from Perkins,

Who was far too of sweet gherkins.

'Till, one day at tea,

She ate ninety three,

And pickled her internal workings.
