FAQs on Shoelaces xD
Q: When were shoelaces invented?
A: No-one knows exactly! Like shoes, shoelaces have been around for thousands of years, long before either names or inventors were ever recorded. Having started as basic string or leather thongs with which primitive humans bound their foot coverings, they would have gradually evolved into the shoelaces that we know today, with no individual ever credited with their "invention".
Q: What is a shoelace tip called?
A: The plastic or metal sleeves at the end of shoelaces are called Aglets (or "Aiglets"). Besides making an interesting trivia or crossword puzzle question, aglets have several functions: They prevent the lace ends from fraying, they make the laces easier to hold, and they make them easier to pass through the eyelets.The word "aglet" (or "aiglet") comes from Old French "aguillette" (or "aiguillette"), which is the diminutive of "aguille" (or "aiguilee"), meaning "needle". This in turn comes from the original Latin word for needle: "acus".
Menyentuh pasal Aglet nih, salah satu episod Phineas and Ferb memaparkan satu episod yang didedikasikan khas untuk aglet nih xD Kelakar gak. Sampai skang still terbayang kesungguhan dua beradik tuh untuk kempen supaya orang ramai bagi perhatian lebih kat aglet (^O^)
