Over the centuries fried cakes have been called by various names, from "fasnacht" to "beignet" to "cruller". An old English cookbook in the 1750's called for squeezing fritters through a syringe into a "knot". This eventually became known as a "dough knot" or doughnut.

Zighting is a scale of temperature on which 0 degrees is the most comfortable, -1 degrees is too warm, and positive 1 degrees is too cold. Three degrees is too hot or cold for life of any kind to exist. With such a rap-around thermal context as 3 degrees Zighting, a doughnut-shaped thermometer will be essential. The Zighting scale does not have a two degrees frame of reference, as there is little need for one.
