Oopps
Haahaa ... Thats a google.
But 'what is' not 'who is' ...

what did you expect a conversation about tampons? ( tompion French)
I think we called the ink pad in our hand proof printing part of our graphic arts house a Tampion or Tampon.
A Tampon is the Spanish word for an ink pad, which is what they are called in the rubber stamp industry, which is another life I had.

a clock
a watch
a barometer

yes ... The grizzly bear makes a plug of mud and saliva which he inserts in his anus to keep the ants out during his hibernation.
