i want to learn something new today

by Erwin

Andy Roddick‘s trophy is a dhow. I don’t know what Feliciano Lopez‘s trophy is of.

It looks like a sword or a canteen, but I’m really not sure. Is there anyone out there who knows the answer?

When did F-LO’s contract with Nike run out?

Thanks, killervirgo!

Mariam: not sure when the contract with Nike ended, but Feli started wearing Joma at the beginning of this year.

It’s a khanjar, but the two are very close in looks anyway.

Well, now at least we know what to call the weird thing that will soon be in Feli’s garage sale (do they have garage sales in Spain?)!

The plates , bowls, and vases might be boring–but at least you can use them as serveware for parties (I always wanted to serve snacks off the Venus Rosewater plate thingy….)
