Q is for





Queue – set of computer tasks, line, list of data elements, man’s pigtail in former times
I never knew that the little braid worn by soldiers in the 18th and 19th centuries was called a queue. This challenge is teaching me things. Remember about 20 years ago when all the guys were wearing these little braids in the back again? I never could see the point – looked kind of dumb to me. Isn’t it strange how these fads always seem to come back – just like fashion. I could probably wear a lot of the clothes I wore in high school (30 some years ago) today and I’d fit right in.
