According to this poem it was so windy that it blew the beard off the captain's face... and then it switched round and blew it back on.

heeeeey, I DID put a "-" in there 
but speaking of half bottles....
people in Norway are starting to apply British / American grammar to Norwegian, which makes for some interesting reading.... In Norwegian, we tend to combine words (the grammatically correct way of doing it), so a blue whale is a "blåhval" (bluewhale).
If you separate the two, it can end up meaning something else.... Like when people have heard of "lamb shanks" (lammelår),
and they write "lamme lår", which means lame/ paralyzed thighs

Interesting. In Britain today, we have some weird things happening with our language. People seem to say words but mean the opposite to what the word means. Word "Sick" means something good? It is very strange and confusing.
Another thing I've noticed on a TV advert is they say "How good is that?" But they dont finish the sentence by telling you how good it is. They dont know how to use English on TV!!! It should be phrased "Isn't it good?" It is rather like those 1970's films that finish in the middle of the plot.
