What does S O S stand for ?

            
This is another interesting factoid sent by a friend via email.

The dit dit dit DAH DAH DHA dit dit dit  sound of SOS is easy to remember, write (... _ _ _ ...) , and to send even by someone with no radio experience at all.

dit dit dit is the code for S

DAH DAH DAH is the code for O

But what does it mean?  Hmmm.  Good question.

This is definitely a “curious minds want to know” question.

And two links will give us the answer.

The first link was sent by the friend in the email.
