I love this little bit of water that comes off the back of his tail.

The first large rocket, the V 2, travelled horizontally with its tail forward to the launch site at Peenemünde.

The government knows that it has a political tiger by the tail, but refuses to acknowledge it, either inside China or outside.

So, whenever he sees a suitcase in the house, because everybody's always, you know, leaving, they're always cranking this wonderful dog's tail, and he runs to the other room.

If my research group had a logo, it would be this picture here an ouroboros, where you see the micro world on the left the world of the quantum and on the right the large scale universe of planets, stars and galaxies.

It would therefore have meant one with a tail perhaps from the habit of animals displaying their tails in flight ( turning tail ), or from a dog's habit of putting its tail between its legs when it is afraid or cowed.

So, the good news is that I have a dog and, though I don't know if I believe in luck I don't know what I believe in, it's a very complicated question, but I do know that before I go away, I crank his tail seven times.

Just as the peacock signals his strength and fitness by displaying his enormous tail a sheer waste of resources from a practical point of view so costly public acts of benevolence signal to potential mates that one possesses enough resources to give so much away.
