from Wikipedia:
12 (twelve) is the natural number following 11 and preceding 13.
The word "twelve" is a native English word that presumably arises from the Germanic compound twa-lif "two-leave", meaning that two is left before one takes away the base, ten. This compound meaning may have been transparent to speakers of Old English, but the modern form "twelve" is quite translucent. Only the remaining tw- hints that twelve and two are related. Etymology (Weekley, Skeat) suggests that "twelve" (similar to "eleven") consists of two parts, the first meaning "two" and the second "leftover", so a literal translation would yield "two remaining [after having ten taken]".
A group of twelve things is called a Duodecad. The ordinal adjective is duodenary, twelfth. The adjective referring to a group consisting of twelve things is duodecuple.
The number twelve is often used as a sales unit in trade, and is often referred to as a dozen. Twelve dozen are known as a gross. (Note that there are thirteen items in a baker's dozen.)
As shown below, the number twelve is frequently referenced in the Abrahamic religions and is also central to Western calendar and units of time.

arin, automotive paint take a while to dry, especially if it's not done just right. Runs happen when you apply to much, you can wetsand them out. be very light with your coats, and they should half overlap every pass, while the paint gun is like 6'8" (I think, cant remember) away from the surface. never let off the trigger, paint one side past the end of the side, then come back in the other direction for you next pass and overlap

that was my goal
our instructors said for our guns (they are smaller than car painting guns) should be between 4-6" away, which is where I had it. i just didn't expect the paint to be as runny as it was. i expected it to be more like the primer we used, which was pretty thick.
the paint is supposed to dry in a 45 minutes, i wanted to give it at least an hour and fifteen just to be safe. all the paint except the run droplets were dry. you could touch the runs, they were just squishy. should be fine tomorrow when i get back to it
as for now, pics of robot and teapot and a mini cooper
