The word “login” comes from throwing a log attached to a rope with knots overboard a ship to see how many knots go by over time (see also, knots as speed). You’d then put that info in the “log book.” You’d “log in” on a regular basis. This wasn’t from 1959, it was likely from 1689! Etymology baby!

Our kid got hooked on L&P and Lemmy during our last visit to New Zealand. Here’s a treat box we ordered for when he comes home from college. Wish we could find these in the USA or Ontario.
