Wired Magazine’s Sexiest Geek

I voted for Marina. Bona fortuna

Thank you so much macadoo! :eek:

Oh, definitely. We’ll vote for you!
Does anyone know how to vote though? Do we have to actually submit a photo and description to vote?

I think you just click on the up arrow next to my description… I am already in the list.. just scroll down.

Thanks sonic!

I voted UP GREEN ARROW for Marina !

Thanks elvis2!!! :wink:

:smile: I voted for you dear…I also was wondering were the fraze ( tie the knot came from?) when your getting married ,some one will ask you .When are you going to tie the knot?..Thanks

I voted UP for you! At first I was using IE6 on Windows XP media center edition and the arrows did not show up at all. This time I tried again using Firefox and they showed up correctly.

thanks tdwnarrows! I’ll look into tying the knot.. though it may be as simple as the fact that you are tying yourselves together once you get married!

you got my vote too!

my vote up!

Thanks Daniel! You are the best!

Thank you wildfishwish!

Voted for Marina, who should win as sexiest “any noun” of 2007. :smile:

+1 for Marina :mrgreen:

Gave you one vote! Wished I can give more?

Well, you certainly have my vote and my attention:) If only more teachers looked like you!

Aye, I voted for you Marina… but you are up against some stiff competition. Good luck!!!

I voted Green up for you Marina!!! You should easily win!!

Voting complete. Good luck.

No way: my caucus was all for Marina! :lol:

Marina for president! 1 More for the sexiest philologist we know :mrgreen:

Voted Marina :smile:
She’ll (you’ll) definitely win! The others won’t stand a chance.

You got my vote.. IE7 works fine with the voting arrows, BTW.

Considerable competition, that Veronica Belmont has been known to put a few LCDs at risk of a meltdown as well.

i never got a hoilday card, so i voted for the other women. :arrow:

dank1313 I have sent you numerous emails, but you entered your email address incorrectly.. can you please contact me via the site and give me your correct email address?

Thanks,
Marina

intelligence is really beatiful when it comes to your case. :grin: I know you know but I thought I’ll remind you once more you are really really pretty oh and hott :!:

:grin: Yes Marina, I voted for you. My vote was number 1562. You have redefined the word GEEK and taken it to lofty new heights. I would wish you good luck, in the race, but you don’t need it.

i recieved the hoilday cards, thanks teach. :grin:

Perhaps you got entered twice because someone was thinking about what they saw when looking at you. (small joke) Hope you win!

I voted for you. But like it was said above – you don’t need all that – we love you.

Hey Marina. I voted three different times because you had three entries. Good luck!

:cool: I voted for Marina! I voted for Marina.

I received your card with the homework assignment in it. They are getting hotter and hotter!

But I’ve done the homework already so as extra credit, I clicked red down on other candidates that were above you.

I also received the homework assignment, and I have to say that is a very Hot photo of my favorite Teacher :mrgreen:

But I have done the homewrok already :grin:

Voted for Marina and will try to do it again, along with my Partner. We love watching you on YouTube and never miss a lesson! Have gone back and watched all of your former lessons and love the bloopers at the end. Marina rocks wickedly! :twisted:

dear Marina:

I just visited the page of the link you ask for, and I started to run onto the rest of the listing, all was normally, a lot of ladies, the most of them as beautyful as you, all was good until I saw a homosexual act photo in the contest, so I think to myself, is this a real contest?,is it worth to be expossed next to this kind of pics, I mean, I’m not a homophobic or something like that, I respect all kind of preferences but there are places to post or exhibe that, think about that my dear sexy teacher, of course I voted for you not one but 4 times until I saw that pic, I respect all kind of preferences but there are places to post or exhibe that, good luck with that contest.

sincerely yours

ps, did I mention you look super hot?

It’s Wired Magazine sergio444.. which is obviously a legitimate publication.. but I saw that picture a few days ago as well… and thought they had removed it. People are able to submit other people as well… and people have submitted me about 5 times… so I don’t even know how the contest is even going to be fair as my votes may be split etc…. I have emailed them but to no avail
… oh well.. I am doing pretty well irregardless (JUST KIDDING!).. regardless… thanks to all of you voting for me, so that part is cool!

:-)

Dear Marina, you are the most pulchritudinous geek ever! You are head and shoulders above the competition, so I gladly gave you my vote! Love you always!

Voted for you hun. :grin: More than once.

I voted for my intelligent beautiful teacher Marina. :grin: BTW Marina, could you look into the word origin of enigma, dream and cosmos for me please? :?: I sent you e-mails but there was no reply. :cry: anyways praise be the martian goddess Marina! :mrgreen:

homework assignment completed:It was so easy just go to your photo and click the green up arrow,but you are listed more than once.Will this hurt your vote totals? :?: Good Luck!

Hope you’re happy what ever the results of the survey. You bring a smile to our faces with the charm & witt displayed in the videos. Enjoy the success of winning the admiration of your students with your personality. Voted for you…
Where can we go to vote for Sexiest voice? LOL

Hi Marina,

I voted for you, after looking at several of the other contestants, because I could not see what made the others “sexy”.

They were all “pretty geeky”, and most of them pretty, but by far you are the “sexiest” :oops: and you are pretty “geeky” :wink: and that is what the contest is all about.

Hope you win.

~Snarp

There must be only one winner;HotForWords(Marina)

There are no other hotties that could compete, Good luck, Marina

voted up, and I even voted down for the lady ahead of you, haha! pretty close running there. good luck!

Dear Marina,

We so much enjoy your etymological ramblings and are always for anyone who eschews obfuscation. You are a wealth of word power, and, it seems that english is not your native tongue. Bravo! Anyway, please, just to settle a wager, we just wanted to know what is the home country of your family?

Thanks again for being there. Now I know the difference between etymology and entymology!

Sincerely yours,

– the gang at LUMENS418

I was going to ask the same thing, but since the bio doesn’t reveal anything of that nature, I doubt that you or I shall get an answer. Sounds Scandinavian to me, what I found most puzzling was that although Marina sometimes struggles with English as if it were a second language for her she curses in English too, if im not mistaken, in the ‘Bloopers’ short. Most of the people I know who speak English as a second language revert to their native tongue when they swear.

I did it for you. This homework is too easy for me and other….

I voted for you, Marina, even though I did not get a holiday card (I did register). Your lessons are enough to make you the sexiest geek. Holiday emails would just be gravy.

btw.. Your homework email was fantastic and I have voted often!

You got my vote dear Marina, but you are unrivalled anyway. There is no doubt, you are the sexiest geek on earth!

Having been to Russia several times, there’s no mistaking that accent. The trick is — what part of Russia.

You Have MY Vote Marina…..Keep it up with the
great video’s…..I Dont know why but I sure find
it easy to learn about words when your the teacher……

Bri

Your are #1 Marina on Wired Top! :lol:

Voted for you :wink:
When will we know the name of the winner ?

I Vote on you Marina, you should win!!!!!!!!!

I also vote for you, Marina. Congratulation!! There are the highest votes in favor of your homework. Thanks for your teaching and I will keep watching your channel forever. ^^(??)

Marina:

I voted for all 5(?) of your Sexiest Geek entries at Wired.com. I hope they combine all of them because you are a landslide winner so far. (Hey, ‘landslide winner’ might even be a word suggestion.)

I have enjoyed your videos on iTunes for several months. I call them “entucation” because they mix education and entertainment, like other podcasts I listen to (Grammar Girl, Legal Law, etc.). But your humor sets you apart! Keep the words coming, Marina!! (Oh, and why not also tell us a bit more about yourself on your Bio page?)

I voted UP GREEN ARROW for Marina ! You gona win!!!!!!!!! you are the best rusian geek ever!!!!!
Love you Tomek from Poland

I voted for you! Good luck!

Thanks!

I have mailed and posted, but who knows who is taking care of your sites?

But just trying again. I think you are very unique in your feild of interest and what is on the web.

Good luck, which I don’t think you need, and you are bound to win sexiest geek, you are like 2,000 above anyone else.

BTW I did vote for you, take care of your self.

Opps misspells in last post forgive me teacher (smiles)

isn’t marina’s home town in sweden, and now she lives around turky?

but really… why would she really want to discloce where she is from… i mean there are some crazy peole out there that may try to hit her, then i would have some drama for that buster!

Just signed up to your site. Really nice. Have been listening to your pod cast for quite a while. i also voted for you today. Good Luck……… not that i think you’ll need it. LOL

i heard u on maxim u r a seriuos teacher u have my respect i voted 4 u .

I voted for you as sexiest geek you have to win. If not we have to make one of our own either sexiest teacher or sexiest wordstress. Good luck hoping win

Sensei;

I have a phrase for you, one that I created; “Gedanken Yankin”.

Gedanken is the German word for “Thought” (as in the song “Die Gedanken sind frei” (“Thoughts are free”)) More specifically, in physics Gedanken refers to “Thought Experiment” like those that Einstein made famous. So I use “Gedanken Yankin” to mean “Intellectual Masturbation”. & no, I don’t mean that in a sexual way.

Love ya Snugglepuffin!

Your much too young to know this, but, how about: “Kimosabe”

The Lone Ranger was a long-running early radio and television show based on a masked cowboy in the American Old West, who gallops about righting injustices, usually with the aid of a clever and laconic American Indian called Tonto, and his horse Silver.

Tonto greets the Lone Ranger with the expression “kemosabe”, which has also been written “Kemo Sabe” or “Kemo Sabhay”. The origin of this expression is somewhat unclear, but James Jewell, an early director of the radio series, said the name comes from a boy’s camp located on Mullett Lake, Michigan that his father-in-law had run from 1911 to 1941. The translation was said to mean “trusty scout.” Fran Striker, the writer of the Lone Ranger scripts, said the actual expression was Ta-i ke-mo sah-bee, which he said meant “greetings trusty scout”. In the pilot of the Clayton Moore TV series, “Enter the Lone Ranger”, Tonto explicitly states that “Kemosabe” means “trusty scout”.

However, the phrase “faithful friend” has also been associated with the term Kemo Sabe.

Some of the information here was taken from Wikipedia, thanks to those guys.

Right: Hey there, Kimosabe (friend to a friend)
Wrong: This guy is my Kimosabe (not used for introductions)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You’re certainly our “Trusty Scout”, your passionate “Search for Meaning” serves us well!

PS: Did you know that on the Wikipedia “Philology” page there are links to HotForWords (both here & You Tube)?

Toodle-loo (or is it “(

I voted for you for a couple of reasons. First I voted for you just because after seeing your HotForWords bit a few times I was sure there could not be any geeks as hotttt as you. But then I checked into this contest to see who your competitors really are. Yes there are a few hot ones, but now I’m sure there are no geeks as hott as you. (I guess there is a third reason) I believe you do what you do better than they do what they do. :!:

P.S. I’m betting that the word “Geek” will soon be used opposite of how it is used , or how it has been used. Instead of it being used to describe someone who is smart or studious. The smart and studious will probably be using the word “Geek” to describe the uneducated “Dopes”. Is that a dope idea or what?

Marina is ser gut! very much enjoy her site and her wit.

Thanks oncewithinatime! That’s a DOPE idea :-)

Marina,

I will vote for just tell me where!

Happy Valentines Day my dear!

You will always get mt vote!

I love that accent, and your voice makes you the sexiest!

We also can’t forget the beautiful body!

You go girl!

I vote for you Marina, you are just fantastic!!! :roll:

I’ve got a bunch of computers, voted on all of them & some more than once. To bad I can’t vote in the US Election eh. Happy day after valentines day & many thanks for the card I can put on all my computers.

Voted! Looks like you are waaaaaaay in the lead. Good luck!

i went sex with you ; i am from algéria my name hamid my biby cat

12817

P.S. i like the foto from sexygeeks2007, could you put it on web for screen wallpaper? :roll:

The only person people should vote for this Marina, no one else.
she is clearly the sexiest geek EVER!! if anyone dosen’t vote for Marina then she’s pist :evil and sad :cry:!!! SO VOTE FOR HER

Marina,
when will the contest be over and published?????????????? I will want a copy of it. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I know, right dank1313? I can’t wait either! :smile:

forget all the rest of those other ppl on the contest. it’s pretty clear Marina will win hands down and those who don’t vote for her…well that’s the equivalent of being an athiest in a world of christians.

the word is: horny…

:shock:

marina! you have my vote! email me.. :razz:

:twisted: ONE MORE VOTE FOR THE HOTTEY MAYBE I COULD BE YOUR ASSISTANTFOR A DAY :grin:

oh dream girl your bright eyes so softly shine
that you’ve lit the love light in this heart of mine
something near and something dear about you
makes them show with elegance divine
and it’s so sweetly true
that you’re my word teacher too
oh Marina dear
my vote has gone for you

i just came across your show…
it is amazing…
i cant get enough…

obviously you have my vote…

i voted for you, of course :smile: . but the reason is not your looks, although you could cause a MAJOR car accident with a smile. the reason is that most of the women on wired wouldn’t give the time of day to a tech guy. which is likely just about all of us who read this. i voted for you because you respect and LIKE smart guys. the techhies :smile: . so there ARE women who are worth more than their looks alone.

Marina… you have lots of fans… all of them philologists here in Colombia… We also have voted for you!!! Go ahead… your work is very educational… we’re analyzing your videos and learning a lot!

you definately gotmy vote

Hello Marina!
Just wanted to say I love your episodes (But then again, I wouldn’t be writing to you if I didn’t!). Anyway, I think I have an interesting word for you to look up. I’ve been very curious as to where, and what it’s origins are.
. The word is “humongous”. I know it is a slang term for “tremendous” and “gigantic” . But, like I said I’m still curious .
Take care and stay sweet!
-Jonathan

i voted for Marina.

Miss Orlova,

I went there and voted but…

Where is the Contest?

YS,
ThoughtOnFire

Strange, you don’t looks like yourself in most hot pictures.
You are like ordinary beauty in them.
Thanks God, you look much better in videos :)

You sure have my vote! ;)

ITS STUPID TO PICK ANYONE ELSE!

Well since you can only do it once from your compuer, I used all the different pc’s and laptops in my house… Your defo the best geek there is… Keep it up :lol:

You are my favorite teacher!

I’m not quite sure why your in for the “Sexiest Geek,” you sure have my vote as “SEXIEST WOMAN EVER”

She looks beautiful in any picture, how dare you say that!!

oh, man (or woman, but I doubt that)..
being beautiful and being your self are two different things.
She makes every picture look good. But in some of them she looks like a barbie – pretty pretty girl with no character.
But that is a good thing. That means she can work with cameras.

true, true. She looks best when she isn’t trying

She wants to be loved for her beautiful mind, of course. She is almost “toosmartforwords”!!

A Geek??? What is the definition of a Geek? Where did that word come from? Well “Geek” :lol: You got my vote! :smile:
Is Geek and Nerd the same thing???

10 arrows up!!!

hey Marina,
They are scared,
They have put up some nice compatiton, But being the hottie you are, You have them worried.
Marina took my vote.

Marina, When will you go on tour?
All your students want to stay after school and write on the chalk board.
“Marina is my teacher and I promise to do my home work”

http://www.RolandBuckles.com

You got my vote. Smart and Sexy an unbeatable combination.

You may want to check this link. It may not be going to this years competition.

I had to voye a few times, since she is on there more than once.

Marina, regarding the first sentence:
“This is last which I one..”

Did you mean:
“This is the last one which I won…”
:smile:

Oh funny I seen that too, but I was busy thinking about how to fix the photo and forgot to make a note of it. I’ll fix it right away. Tnks.

Hi Marina I want to know the words sexy geek comes from. hugs and kisses to the teacher

Ok meanie I voted ) Please don’t tell Miss Palin :neutral:
