A lot of shells under that Unix umbrella!

Coconut water + its jelly like flesh can be quite refreshing
on a hot Mumbai day. Did you try any?

Of course! We had some just yesterday, and will again today.

As Groggy noted, the husk may look a little worse for wear, but the
coconuts themselves are quite fresh.

In Papua New Guinea, where I grew up, kulaus - young coconuts whose 
flesh hadn't hardened yet into what gets dried and sold as copra - were 
prized for that reason.

The vendor's got several kinds available in that cart, not just husks 
and not just fresh. I prefer fresh, but the slightly fermented ones are 
good too. I grew up on coconut and sugar cane. In India, they're better 
in Bangalore/Chennai. Delhi has the brown ones we're used to in the 
states, mostly. Here in Texas, I can only get sugar cane over in the 
Asian part of town. Coconut's available, but it's a pale reflection of 
fresh and the brown's only good for cooking and candy bars.

I wonder if there's any connection with Unix and coconuts aside from 
this umbrella?

I presume so.  After 35 years I wouldn't lay my hand in the fire.  The
search results pointed to a number of places in Germany.  Solingen
seems to have been popular.

And in passing, for today's calendar, we have:

  Aug 14  First Unix-based mallet created, 1954

I think we once came to an explanation, but I have forgotten it.

One that's missing there is one I saw in Frankfurt (Main) in the late
1980s: a car rental company called "Unix rent".  Unfortunately I never
had a camera with me when I saw it.  A Google search brings up a

The relevant pages on dmr's Bell Labs page:

https://www.bell-labs.com/usr/dmr/www/otherunix.html

I think of his collection of "diverse" UNIX variants whenever I see something particularly out of place in an auction search for UNIX stuff.  Among other things, UNIX is a popular abbreviation for unisex, so I often find myself combing through auctions for tshirts and shoes while trying to find computing history...
