How do you get a nail to do this in masonry?

I think, I have seen this ( #5,462 ). Could be intentional. Who knows.

I've heard it's not easy being a fastener.
Some get nailed.
Some get screwed.
Some get hammered.
And then you're still expected to hold it all together.

Considering the origins of this thread, here's a picture of the new addition to the family, Finley. In the pic he looks much larger than his is.

I presume that the curl on the nail would be deliberate, to help it key into the masonry, I can only guess that it was bent before hand and grouted in, luckily it wasn't my job to get it out of the wall.

When I nod my head, you hit it.

A nod's as good as a wink, Nigel!

At the time, the smartest phone we had was bolted to the wall and the cord wasn't long enough.

Exhibit "A".

Sometimes the phone would jump on the table if you stood up too quick. North American cords were so long you could walk around the room with some of them.

Bravo!

Inspecteur Clouseau.... hmm... Chief Inspecteur Clouseau is one of favorite characters... Did you notice how his fights with Cato ended with a phone call?

Phone call was an event with those telephones... You would never know who that might be until answer it but then there would be a wire to connect you to his location. And "hold on" had a meaning!

When I was a kid, before VHS, we would never miss these movies when they show up on TV!

We had a Deux Cheveaux when I grew up.

Did you know the back seat had three supports? They had front to back metal posts that supported the seat and seat back: left, right and middle. If you sat on the middle of the seat, your butt and back would compress the foam and straddle the support post. Yikes. It was OK if you had four people in the car... the fifth one, aka The Kid, got to seat on... yikes...

My mom made me a nice cushion/pillow.... it was fine, for two hours, after that it was a 'splitting" pain. 😛

I had a Citroën Picasso! 😉

The 2CV was an evolutionary design:

To my eyes, 2CV and Beetle were victims of marketing bullying. But I wouldn't be surprised if they make a comeback in the not so far future.

@Galu good investment. Just don‘t keep them long-term or else

Seems little Albert wasn‘t, what, educateble? (He seems to have been quite insubordinate.

The given german translation of "insubordinate" into "unaufordentlich" sounds like some weird AI construction that almost hurt my ears. "Ungehorsam" or even "unordentlich", yes, those words could possibly fit a young Einstein, but "unaufordentlich" does not sound German at all, or is it a swiss type of German?

 

[mchambin]

Is "Young Einstein" a spin off the theory of relatively ?

 

[myleftear]

@gorgon53 this was, uhm, a new loe/a fantastic gaffe!
„Unaufordentlich“ does not exist, „unaufDordentlich“ even less!
