Giraffe

yo.

Ugh! You beat me! I was continually updating it on my iPod and then Safari crashed! Congratulations! :mrgreen:

ha! i got safari, too. but on vista, not on a crappy apple product. ;P

3rd

Is safari better than Fire Fox?

Yes! The teacher’s pet section is back. Marina at her most beautiful.

My iPod usually works fine, but on this website it crashes a lot because of something. I like Vista or Mac, no real preference. Hey…

Where did the word Macintosh come from?

Yay for teachers pet! I was missing it.

Excellent lesson! Audio is encoded with L&R channels. Yeah!
Homework: sharks

It depends. IE is the best in my opinion.

Can you find the meaning of the word ‘fortnight’ (as in 2 weeks) ty

well, depends on what you’re looking for in a browser, i guess. works fine for me. just try using it for a while, if you don’t like it, just switch back to ff.

You beat me Karl, I was going to say fish. :lol:

i have a request for the word
orc

can you do navel? bellies, fruit and war, I don’t get it.

hey!!, can you make a video explaining the word “syncronization” as there are multiple sayings of the word like “synching”, “sync” and “synch”.
Also, seeing the video of “big words” can you make a video of you saying perhaps the world’s longest english word at multiple speeds.
the word (over 1000 letters) is a chemical term at
http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_longest.html

If you know the longest word, please make a video explaining that word and of you saying that word.
Hope it works out
take care
Alex

Hi Marina,

Excellent work and esp. your confidence use of the details that make the site so personable.

Anyway, I know that you like big words and you mentioned the ones you thought were some of the biggest; nice.

Here’s the one I know: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovocanoconiosis
it is listed as the longest in the OED.

Yours,
truebean

Hii Marina i have a word. Why do people say “Quite Frankly” when explaining something?

Thanks.

depends on what you mean by sleep. many animals sleep by placing one brain hemisphere to sleep at a time. allowing them to be semi-conscious and more alert. there are other variations to sleep patterns as well. interesting questions.

Great article Buzz.

safari is more vulnerable to viruses…

(got that bit of info from a consumers report magazine article bout online identity theft)

Thanks everyone for the info.

well, aside from “Sleep” as buzz described it (turning off one brain hemisphere at a time) i don’t think fish sleep at all.

the science of sleep.

On my Mac I used FireFox. I like the ability to add plugins. Also many website are designed for Mozilla or IE. I do have Safari and IE for back up. Some sites are slaves to MS and you have no choice but to use IE. :mad: Also some sites like Gmail display more functions with FF than with Safari. Damn I hate it when there are competing standards. :mad:

I’d like to know what the difference between Linguistic and Philologie is and where the word linguistic comes from, since it’s language and not linguage.

Greets Kez

p.s. I just saw the lesson about what philologie means (the first one – lol) so I hope no one asked so far.

Here’s and article about fish and their sleep habits.

http://www.wonderquest.com/fish-sleep.htm

Anyone ever notice that ignorant people need more sleep.
Who was it that only took cat naps?. Never slept at night.
Albert Einstein, Alexander Gramm Bell,??
Is it being stupid that makes you sleepy?
Or does being sleepy make you stupid?
HFW’s must investigate.

Marina.
Have you checked your mail lately?
I just would like to know if Crystal got your address right.
Did you get the Hotstufforyou.
If you would rather tell Capman OK.
He can let me know :roll:
remember roadrunrnch ?

I would like to know the origin of the word ‘Pchela’ or ‘Bobr’ ‘

The Russian words for ‘Bumble Bee’ and ‘Badger’

Well I don’t know about other animals, but as for myself, I need about 5 to 8 hours. Naps really help. I can do 5 hours and take about an hour nap or so and I’m good to go. But if I’m doing a lot of physical work I’ll need at least 7 hours. Sometimes I’ll sleep 10. More than that and its just too much. My sleep times are weird. I usually can stay up for about an extra hour a day before I get really tired. So the times I go to bed just drag on later and later. Also my brain love to solve problems just as I put my head down on the pillow. I never get any sleep because of that. So I’ll have to drink a beer before I go to bed. Its the only thing that shuts my mind down. :roll: I remember years ago a friend of mine and I stayed up for 72 hours. It was really cool. I started to see animals in the galley. :shock:

sweet, never knew that. thx =)

I think elephants and horses don’t realy sleep long either.

Boy Capman your becoming a real computer Geek.
More speed , more speed……!
These damn computers get under your skin.
Never too old to learn a new dance …right.
Are brains can still get it keep up :lol:
And smart is sexy

Interesting question about why some smarter people don’t need as much sleep. I think A.D.D. or H.A.D.D. might have something to do with it on some cases. I don’t think sleeping makes you dumb or smart. Using your brain more often does improve your intelligence. Its kind of like working out with weights. The more you work out the more brain muscle you get, figuratively speaking.

hit-S…….. R brains can still get it keep up
And smart is sexy :lol:

Sharks don’t need much sleep. The opposite would be the cat, which needs 18 hours to sleep.

In reference to what? The computer? The Fruit? Someones name?

aLx, Your saying Unix is a crappy product? :???:

Horses can sleep standing on 3 legs.

ok…. :???: wy would they do that….

I think fish don’t sleep much, but I don’t know for sure. I haven’t read everyones comments but am I the only one who noticed that when Marina said Cameleopard, it was dubbed in and reused each time she said it. Is that because you had a hard time pronouncing it and once you got it right you just reused it, or is there another reason? Interesting video though, I never knew that.

When I was in school A.D.D. was just called being a B.O.Y
We don’t have any B.O.Y’s anymore. And even fewer M.E.N.

Hey Cap: I wanted to reply to some of your things yesterday, but I got too busy. I went on a 4 day backpacking trip and have been trying to keep up ever since. I thought you might want to see my pictures, so if you do go to http://www.flickr.com and in the search part type Ispy4wrk. It was a great trip. The photos are not very organized but you should be able to find your way around. Feel free to leave comments.

Don’t trust consumer reports magazine 100%. :shock: Its been proven they are not always correct. Many times I have found their research is flawed. :sad: I know home theater system very well and found out they failed to properly list specifications on home electronics and failed to us common sense in operation of the devices. That said, I still think they are the best magazine for products reviews. I just wish they would audit themselves for accuracy more.
As for virus goes. Its the most popular browsers that get hit with viruses and security leaks more than others. Even IE at one time had less security flaws than FireFox. Just think about this for one moment. If you wanted to write a virus, which browser or Operating system would you write it for. Well that should be obviously. You would try for the most popular in most cases. Last I heard that Opera was the most secure. Well I don’t know anyone using Opera. I think right now they are the most secure at this time.

Can I be Frank? That is a good question. Who do you want to be?

When I was in school it was called daydreaming / laziness.

I don’t know what your acronyms mean RRR.

I have no idea. :shock:

Well, I don’t think ants sleep much. Neither do elephants, zebras, and horses. Fish and whales don’t sleep much either.

Rust never sleeps….
Let sleeping dogs lie…
Homework: Could it be a fish? :mrgreen:

hi,

linguistics is the “technical” stuff. structures, systems. very formal.
philology is more humanistic oriented. studies of literature and authors, also historic stuff, and a little bit of linguistics.
linguistics doesn’t care much about history and it doesn’t care at all about literature, its trying to describe (!) language systems, distributions of languages, also, theories about language production, how the brain handles language and so forth. it’s all about structures.

Hey Marina :mrgreen:

I know I’ve been chasing you for days (I’m sorry :shock: ) but I just really want you to make a video for me about the word ‘rucksack’. What is a ‘ruck’ and why is it called a ‘sack’ while it’s a bag? I just don’t get it :P

Byebye !! :razz:

Hi, Marina! I have a request for the word “num(b)scull”. Thank you in anticipation.

Almost two days in a row :mrgreen:
(i think foxbow15 has that record)

So glad you did an animal name today, I was just playing a game with my nieces to sharpen their brains for school.
What’s a ‘pig of the sea’? The kids answer Porpoise.
What’s a ‘thorn pig’?’ The kids answer Porcupine.
What’s a ‘ground lion’? Answer is a Chameleon.
The school gave them this Webster Kid Dictionary with word history on selective words.

Hi Marina. Congratulations, you are hot, intelligent and sweet, three things very difficult to find together in one woman. I just love wen you say HotSforwords, putting an “S” that doesn’t belong there in the middle of your own show’s name. It’s a lovely mistake, it sounds good!. My word request: Procrastination.

Hey now that’s a nice video. :grin:
I didn’t know that. :cool:

And love the notion that we are now going to get 2 a day. :wink:
Yipee :!: :!:

An animal that doesn’t need too much sleep :?:
Sorry, it’s not me. I like my sleep. :razz:

I was thinking fish, but I’ve scared the crap out of some fish at night.
Wonder is insects sleep, Seems I’ve heard crickets day and night.

Is it cool on your penthouse floor? :oops:
And Kobe choosing the cool tiles vs. the carpet. :wink: :wink:
But what is your giraffe’s name :?:
I enjoy watching giraffes run, like slow motion and really covering some distance. :roll:

Hey Jack hows it going? I like the FireFox you put me on, the add on’s are great so many to choose from. It puts IE7 on the back burner for me. Plus it’s a lot faster when refreshing the page. I was curious about Safari because when Quick time wants to do an upgrade it will try to ad Safari.

Dear Marina, You look so beautiful in your nice lavender outfit with black trim. I hope you do better with your videos so that someday, you can afford shoes! :smile: For your homework, sharks apparently don’t sleep because they need to pass water through their gills for oxygen, but they do go through periods of reduced activity. Sperm whales are reported to sleep by floating near the top of the water to breathe, but they only sleep for an hour or teo. The giraffe needs very little sleep, too. Reminds me of a giraffe joke: A cop sees man driving a conertible with a big giraffe sitting in the passenger seat. The cop pulls them over and says, “You better bring tat giraffe to the Zoo right away!” The driver says, “Yes Sir!” and heads for the Zoo. The next day, the cop sees the same convertible with the same driver and that giraffe, so he stops them. “I told you to take that giraffe to the Zoo.” “But officer,” says the driver. “Today, he wants to go to the beach!” :grin:

Hey Trixie, I see you did add your web site to your name. :cool: Great, it gives us something else to look at sometimes when it get slow on here. :smile:

did you guys know that a giraffe’s legs are strong enough to kick a lion’s head clean off of its neck?

also, here’s a cool, totally unrelated riddle that just popped into my head for no reason at all:
what action is a crime if attempted and failed, but not a crime if succeeded? reply with your guesses and i’ll post the answer in like 30 minutes or so ;)

I meant ……..http://www.hotforwords.com …………Doesn”t show with Firefox â„¢.

The shark. It has to keep swimming to pass water over its gills, or it will suffocate.

I have a coolt word for you Marina, CONCUPISCENT

why are there no X Y Z words in your list?

I see the “Big Words” video has the red triangle. :wink:

Hey Marina!

I think your show is fabulous! I was wondering what the origin of the phrase “pet peeve” was.

Thanks!

suicide

yup ur right =)

u realize thats the same as us breathing right?

i just reached the sad realization that i have no idea what the heck the red triangle means/does

Humm, something is going on here that’s not straight forward. :eek:

We’ve seen HotForWords the couch series.
We’ve seen HotForWords the bedroom series.
We’ve seen HotForWords the dining room series.
We’ve seen HotForWords the kitchen series.
And now it’s HotForWords the floor series. :razz: :razz:

We’ve seen a lot of the HotForWords Penthouse. :shock: :shock:
(Nice place by the way)

Is Marina a secret Real Estate agent? :?: :wink: :wink:

Show property…learn words. :mrgreen:

[pic: snail porn]

[the filthy details]

oh .. and [the dire consequences of the above]

On You Tube, partner videos are identified with a red triangle in the upper left corner. I let Marnia know that a triangle was missing and it is now back.

I vote for :

HotForWords, the Dungeon Series!!

I’ve already mentioned this on the video comments on youtube so I’ll just keep it brief and say that sperm whales require roughly the same amount of sleep as giraffes.

On to the word request;
Tmesis. I’ve always liked this word because of it’s strange pronunciation. I know what it means, but want to know where it comes from.

and, finally, the answer to:

Which came first: the chicken or the egg?

The egg. .. because the chicken evolved from an egg layin’ creature.

take this!

Homework… With extracredit…

Animals sleep the least, well it’s really a toss up.. From a mammal perspective the Giraffe is really the one requiring the least amount of sleep. Some horses only sleep for 2 hours… I know the Roe Dear sleeps about 3 hours…

Extra Credit: The mammal that sleeps the most is the Bat which sleep about 20 hours a day… and in the 4 hours they are awake they can eat more than their weight in insects… Yummy….

My word request for the day is: bikini…
I mean I know that the bi must refer to the number 2 … but what is a kini?

-j

oh .. i think you’re confusing gaffe for giraffe … hahahhahahaa {laffs at own joke}

hmmmm … plus ..

(clashing of screching rusty gears …)

the source says the page is marked up according to XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

However .. it’s normal for the html generating progs to produce errors on the page. It’s only usually the hand made pages that are quinky clean.

I wanna, as an exersize in clearing cobwebs, see if i can actually spot that one error tho.

Oh this video is just too great. :cool:
I just noticed the pictures on the investigation cut away. :roll:
What innuendo, I can’t stop laughting. :lol: :lol: :wink: :wink:

Great Job Marina. :smile:
You got so much original stuff packed into a 2 min. video. :idea:
You got to watch if 4 or 5 times just to notice everything. :grin:

Gotta love that COMPLEX mind behind it all. :idea: :idea: :idea:
Entertaining on so many levels.

you are awesome!!!!!

by the way… where did the word “soda” come from?

Marina, you did it again, an awesome video! Not that I ever doubted it hehehe

Homework: My dogs, I have four dogs who together might be awake for 1.9 hours per day…. Thay are always sleeping, unless there is food or hunting around ^^

Best Barks, Your Freidnly Pet Ath.

HotForWords,

I need private lessons.
I’m having trouble with my Giraffe call. :razz: :razz: :razz:

Oh yeah, might as well throw in a word request for the word Hipopatamus, not that self explaining, also 11 letters, so it can be called a long word which you like hehe.

Read below comment for a best wishing.

OOH OOH OOH! Pick me for the next teacher’s pet Ms. Orlova pleaseeeeee!

Also did you hear a quote by this one supermodel named Linda Evangelista? It went like “It was God who made me so beautiful, if I weren’t I’d be a teacher.” Good stuff Marina for proving her wrong AND looking better than her!

i want to know where the word computer cam from we all use them so how did it get it name :?: :?: :?:

…am I the only one who noticed that when Marina said Cameleopard, it was dubbed in and reused each time she said it.

I was about to post the same question, but only saw 88 comments so I read away. I am wondering what Marina is saying before the dubbing as it sure doesn’t look like Cameleopard. A little mystery for us to solve!

oh yeh? …

well – take this!! [snail has sex with human]

this is from http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/chasleep.html :

Cow 3.9 hr
Asiatic Elephant 3.9 hr
Sheep 3.8 hr
African Elephant 3.3 hr
Donkey 3.1 hr
Horse 2.9 hr
Giraffe 1.9 hr

fascinating that sheep, which supposedly lull people to sleep, required so little sleep themselves…

prolly why they go, “baaaaaa!!!!”…

annudder :cool:

so, in terms of sleep required per cubic centimeter, the sperm whale wins hands down.

that’s interesting .. do you have a ref for that? – the bat’s sleep pattern, i mean.

oh yeh .. good one .. and “Coca Cola” – i.e. proper info on the “Coca” part.

priceless: bush eating pussy!

By far. I’ve also read that a sperm whale only rests one hemisphere of the brain at a time, allowing it to sleep with one eye open. (I learned all of this in the same book in biology class, I’m not obsessed with sperm whales or anything.)

i notice it says:

brown bat 19.9 hr
human 8 hr

i believe i may be more closely related to the brown bat.

yes, i think we’ve all noticed how batty you are, mijj… :wink:

lol .. disgusting

… ahem … koff … [big wet pussy]

ah .. but .. you know i was .. ummm .. what?

i.e. .. we all hear stuff, but we can trust Marina to supply the proper info.

no, the chicken, because evolution is bs =) it is a completely ridiculous theory. proof: platypus

hey!!, can you make a video explaining the word “syncronization” as there are multiple sayings of the word like “synching”, “sync” and “synch”.
Also, seeing the video of “big words” can you make a video of you saying perhaps the world’s longest english word at multiple speeds.
the word (over 1000 letters) is a chemical term at
http://www.fun-with-words.com/word_longest.html

If you know the longest word, please make a video explaining that word and of you saying that word.
Hope it works out
take care
Alex

I actually learned about the sleeping patterns among other things at a class I took while visiting Zion National Park. I am sure there are many out there – I would search for Bat Sleeping patterns on Google or Ask… I did a search and this is one of the links I found, but there are really a number of them…

-j

Here is a link to one I just found:

http://www.austrop.org.au/batties/ff%20facts.htm

-joe

oh yeh :oops: i shudda listed my assumptions.

Been very busy Mike. My class has some hiccups. Im glad your helping out. Nice to have a second TA to help. :)

Yea that’s Apple trying to push Safari. MS and Apple do that because people are very lazy and you really have to push your product to make people move on making a decision to install a new product. Sheeple I say, Its like herding sheep. :grin:

lol. great pic, though.

some dude giving head.

great video marina :)

cameleopard does sound pretty cool, it has a superhero type of feel to it “half camel, half leopard”.

Years ago I saw a photo, which I always found funny. The photo was of a massive sign which says “KIRIN”.

People who know the name KIRIN would mostly associate it with the brand name of beer with malt. KIRIN is also japanese for giraffe :lol:

hi!! I’d like to know why sunday it’s name sunday :razz: hahaa
why not moonday or starday maybe =p thanx

by the way, if anyone else replies to the thing bout evolution im not responding cuz that would launch into an argument i dont have time to check on/respond to. loll im lucky ^that dude^ didnt start something up

ta – i asked ‘cos of combination of :oops: me bein’ lazy and hoping you had special knowledge or interest.

I had a discussion with my boss who is dutch and he said the “ya know, the whole nine yards” what does that mean, where does it come from? And I actually did some intense online research… and I found nothing. :(

How many hours does Kobe get to sleep?

i think those pics could be useful on a porn aversion site.

[youtube: Pelican gobbles bird]

what the hell? stupid bird (both of them). is this like us eating wood or something?

I believe that the names of the days of the week are derived from the names of germanic gods. I think that the sun goddess Sol/Sunna. Therefore the word sunday comes from her name.

Well, I would assume that it comes from the word compute.

well .. i don’t know if the pelican was stupid.

maybe pigeons have vitamins and minerals essential for a healthy pelican lifestyle.

Hippopotamus comes from the greek words Hippos = Horse, and Potamus = river. So basically it would mean “river horse”.

Good eye… and you are right on. I know she does that to test me to see if I’m asleep at the wheel. I was afraid of getting detention, but now the classroom tag line is, “HotForWords, Where detention is fun!” :grin:
(see YT profile).

Hi I love your videos! I would LOVE to know how the term “Push the Envelope” came to exist as breaking the barriers, what’s so controversial about a envelope! LOL THANKS! :razz:

ADD? Attention-Deficit Disorder, a development disorder that impairs one’s ability to sustain focus.
ADHD; Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder,

BOY ; a lot of energy and no direction
MAN; No direction and no energy.

Shirley you jest?

cool, yet another on my list.

:wink: I was going to give you a fabulous answer but I’m just too sleepy. I’ll get back to you in 7 or 8 hours-Yawn!! :smile:

:mrgreen: I think that Kobe parties all night and has lots of dog friends over while Marina sleeps. Marina,you better wake up one or twice a night and break up the wild parties Kobe is having behind your back!
Yikes!!!!

THANKS RRR! We posted at the same time and it looks funny that my number is smaller than yours. :lol:

are you asking about RRR?
It’s the name of my little horse ranch

I don’t think I have ever seen a fish sleep – even though there is the
famous saying: ” Sleeping with the fishes. ”
You can tell by there eyes, just like sharks ….
Black eyes! Like a doll’s eyes ….
When he comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be living ….
…. until he bites ya. Then those ….
(? too much ? lol!) I don’t even know if any marine animals sleep.
It’s pretty darn creepy. Cap’n Jack — what do you know of it ?

Hi hot for words, i have always wondered the Meaning of the word “GRINGO”. so can you please look that up and tell me wut does that means, and i will be very happy :) :mrgreen:

Thank You.

Do sharks have the ability to actually sleep? I thought they didn’t have eye lids. :shock:

Marina is in first position with 767 votes by moose and squirrel. :grin:

Hi M,

Not sure the animal who get the least amount of sleep, but lions get a lot like 22 hrs a day. If I had to guess I would say flamingo; stand up sleeping is hard enough, but on long leg come on… Got to be short sleep time there.

#1 Student

They have a thin film over their eye that acts as an eyelid. I’m not sure whether or not this actually helps them go to sleep or whether they have something else as well. Though you don’t need eyelids to sleep.

I can’t think of any animal that requires so little sleep.

However, I do have a word request after watching the Democratic National Convention – Pander!

A word I am requesting is engineering or engineer. I’m currently studying mechanical engineering and was just curious. Thanks.

Hi Ericitswow,

This phase “the whole nine yards” is tough one, so good suggestion. You may stump the word origin master. Although Marina’s a smart cookie, but this one might be her first mystery not solved.

#1 Student

well koalas are definitely out of the picture. Do sharks and fish sleep a lot. Insmoniacs don’t sleep at all. How about insomnia?

it’s so disgustingly cute :-)

Hi Marina,

Great video about the Camel and the Leopard, i’ve got this burning question about a songtext called “Tainted Love” written by Edd Cobb
Gloria Jones sang it in 1964, I remember only the Soft Cell version being the first one, and as a child wondering what Tainted means. Sounds like Painted.. but why would anyone paint Love?

(btw your accent reminds me of a special Lady i’ve met years ago, she originally came from the north-western part of China, don’t ever try to hide it..;)

Leon P

Hi Marina!
I heard that dolphins don’t sleep at all until they are a few weeks old!

I was also wondering where the word “-Quack-” refering to an incompetent doctor comes from.

Thanks from your favorite student!

Warren has told me:

Go to the Maxim Radio shows that Marina has done in the past.
Good fun and Stretch has a great sense of humor.

.. anyone have any links?

HI! I just registered here, and I want to request my first word. I was wondering what the origin of the word MUG is. It refers to the cup of course, but also a persons face. Thanks, love your vids.

Hi, im marco gonzalez :grin: :grin: my word request is first sight love. because thats what i feel when i saw your video!

Thx bye

:mrgreen: It also means when you get robbed in a dark alley. Ever hear of getting mugged?

http://www.hotforwords.com/category/interviews/

:mrgreen: How about a waste of broadcasting time? I’d rather watch a movie this week!

thanks, mate.

:mrgreen: I have been told I am a gringo. Since I am an anglo with white skin,I guess that means that white,anglo-Americans are gringos. I beat Marina to solving this mystery! Yeaaa!!

I am probably just a masochist, but I have been watching all of the convention this week and will do so next week as well. I was hoping that the Democrats was expand upon their platform with some specifics, not just their normal platitudes and pandering.

I have class tomorrow night, so I am recording it to be able to watch the entire thing.

I am a Republican and will probably enjoy their convention next week a great deal more.

Still all style and no specifics on Barack Obama.

i checked the french for “engineer” -> “ingénieur “.

my wild random guess (because that’s what i like) is:
I bet it has something to do with ‘one who is employed to be “ingenius”‘.

:smile:

:roll: I am a democrat but don’t always vote democrat. I have a tendency to analyze each candidate and decide on their qualifications who gets my vote. So far,I don’t see any qualifications for Obama-zip,zero,nada. I call em as I see em!! Now,I’m going to watch another movie.

hey hotforwords! great video as usual, and heres one thing for you to ponder, what is the origin of the phrase

Through Thick and Thin

? That is my request for today! Thanks and keep up the great work!!

Check this out, talk about dog days…
I usually make it to the end of the meal before I fall asleep, not always though.
I’m ok, as long as nobody scares me.

No, I am serious, and for Pete’s sake don’t call me Shirley!

As far as I remember, the one “animal” that doesn’t get much sleep EVER is… that grumpy drummer from the Muppets. LOL
:arrow: :lol:

oh, that’s an interesting one – i second that.

… and is it only generally applied to doctors?

I can’t believe few people have been talking about it. It was very weird.

Hi again hotforwords! I would like to update my phrase request, i now have 2 that i would love for you to research for me!

Through thick and Thin
When the cows come home

Thanks in advance again, and keep up the great videos!

I must have after you . the 5 more are mine.

It’s numb skull.

She may get to your word eventually.

Barefoot is SO much sexier!

My homework answer is ME. I only need about 8 hr. a week :smile:

Mijj and iamme097 were discussing which came 1st… the chicken or the egg! Allow me to get into it, and at the end I will cleverly request 2 terms.

Do you guys even realize that in the egg is an actual chicken, instead of your morning omlet?! :))

Also now, the problem is reduced to this… what came 1st? The chicken or the egg shell?

Well… since an egg shell is made of keratin, a substance only found in living organisms… the answer becomes obvious and the problem simplistic. [but if your a redneck, this will do too: `dem darn alienz planted the eggs in the ground, and they grew into Crispy Strips]

So why did that chicken cross the road then? Because it was dead serious on not winding-up on the day’s menu.

I want to know who actually has seen a Cameleopard kick the head off a lion, or has tested how much kinetic energy it would take to kick the head off a lion, and who has tested the actual kinetic energy of a Cameleopards kick. It sounds like a lot of conjecture with no proof. Much like other things you choose to believe. I not trying to start something here either. :roll:

Hello my dear Teacher!
I would like to know why someone would say
‘Go Fly A Kite’ when they are upset with somebody?
I know you can find tne answer.

RRR why didn’t you put the “a” in ranch when you filled in you name? It would look much better and easier for us to figure out.

those dogs – that’s ‘orrible.

lol .. fainting goats tho .. they’re crazy.

while we’re at it … beware of [the yawning hippo]

I would also like to know about the words
‘Nymph’ and ‘Notorious’

Thank you, my dear Teach!!!

Chief is ever so honored to hold the “teacher’s pet” position. You shant be disappointed. Chief
ps. if I had a teacher like you in my schooling days I may never have wanted to graduate!

If my information is correct the SHARK never sleeps because he has something like two separate brains. When one brain does not work the other does.
The necessity of sleeping is in fact a strange phenomenon but, Marina, can you ask your uncle, DR POPOV, to explain us how he explains this necessity ?

hi miss :) i would like to know what are the origins of the word -agent-
and if you could search for another one -proctal-( i think i know though but i would like you to search it please . thank you

Wow you are way off on that bikini thing. http://www.bikiniatoll.com/facts.html

SHE IS NOW AT 781

Hi Geronimo. I went to your Flickr site and man they are some beautiful photos. I am envious of the where you live. Where did your mustache go? You and your family and friends looked to have had a wonderful time. I am glad you shared that part of your life with me. By the way my 21 year old son thinks Asia is beautiful. Thank you my friend talk to you later. :grin:
Mike

They did find caves in deep water where the water keeps woving so the shark can sleep with out dying.
If a shark keeps still too long it could suffocate, because it needs the water to move over its gills to breath.

Hey Cap: Glad you liked the pics. I do live in a great place. I don’t know if I even mentioned where this was but we were just 10 miles west of lake Tahoe in what is called the desolation wilderness. There are no roads there, so there are very few people. We had that lake all to ourselves and only saw a couple of other hikers.

Yes I think Asia is beautiful too. All of my daughters are but she seems to be the most photogenic.

I ment water keeps Moving not

water keeps woving

Oh yeah, I shaved off my mustache one year ago. It was the first time I ever shaved it and everyone but my kids told me to keep it off, so I did.

Ooops ! PCHELA means BEE ! And BOBR means BEAVER !
PCHELA is in fact BCHELA and is akin etymologically to Latin FUCUS and Germanic BI “bee”. These words are today very different because of chronological and geographical separations. But it is certain that the bees were always considered as a fantastic insect.
BOBR is also akin to BEAVER and Fench BIÈVRE although French uses rather CASTOR today.
As a rule many important animals have different names in every language as it is the case for the BEAR who is called HONEY EATER (MED’VED’) in Slavic. In French we use the word OURS from Latin URSUS.
By the way ! The Russian president’s surname is MED’VEDEV which means BEAR :mrgreen:
PUTIN mean WAY :mrgreen:

!!!!!CONGRATS!!!!!

I found a site that talks about camel behavior and it says that they kick but it doesn’t say how hard.

http://www.asij.ac.jp/elementary/projects/4-r/webme/andreww/special.htm

It’s a stupid thing
and when have I ever been easy to figure out.
Did you hear Marina try to say it.
I should change it to flamesoldier.com

If you want to talk similartities to animals. The giraffe looks like it has the same physique as a Camel(Stature), Horse(Shape) and Leopard(The spots).
The Arabs took over North Africa, so they brought Arabic. It’s from a dialect of Arabic.
Dialects work like this:
When I say Dog, I pronounce the o as aw in saw. In the midwest they would say Dawg aw prounounced like the “Aoooo” in a wolf howling. In Manhattan they would say DwOOg.
The simple way to explain dialects in Arabic is with the word Abdullah(Slave of God). In one region it’s pronounce Abdillah, in another it’s Abdallah.

Actually the chicken or biddy is not in the egg if the hen hasn’t been fertilized by a rooster. The only thing in the egg is the yolk and the white surrounding membrane. So when animals developed first on this earth mammals and reptiles gave birth to their offspring by different means “ie” live birth or eggs.
But to us rednecks we believe that eggs come from mushrooms that was planted by Aliens. When a mushroom pushes through the ground the top of it is called the egg in which we collect and fry or scramble in the pan. So there. That explains the origin of what came first chicken or the egg. I got that from Goober.

I like his name just fine :mrgreen:

An animal that sleeps less than 2 hours a day…. hmmmm…. A foreign correspondent for the TV.

I would like to request a word :mrgreen:
The word is: Diva

I know its a modern twist on the word Prima Donna but where and how did it originate?

Thank you Marina :mrgreen: keep up the good work

Thank you to all who voted for Marina. It’s a new voting day (Thur). Three more nail biting voting days left (Thur, Fri, Sat). Going for the gold.

Request for a word: Boob Tube

I’ve seen people call the TV a boob tube, even though a TV has nothing to do with boobs and tubes.

Noticed you like a little musical break every now & then, (loved the Shatner, oh Bill..lol).

I was just talking to my mom and we were talking about oranges. And I was wondering: In English, why are the fruit and the color the same? Is it simoly that oranges are named for their color?

Thanks,

Hey Chief, thumbs up :smile: You’re right to come here & study with the best.

I just love the word, and would love to have you tell us about its origin…

hi marina!!!! i love your channel!!! can you do the origin of “pun” as in….you can watch marina on the boobtube…uh…no “pun” intended…oh oh…i guess that would be another word…”boobtube” where the heck did that come from?!?!?!

Hello my dear teacher.
I thought you might be interested to know that there are two words for Giraffe in farsi (the language that people speak in Iran and parts of Afghanistan and Tajikistan) . One of them is “zarafe” which is so close to Giraffe and the other one is “shotorgavpalang” which literary means “camle-cow-pard”
I also like to let you know that I like your new videos with wide lenses better. Now I can see your bare feet as well and this is a lot sexier. (don’t get too confident though)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME. That mustash makes you look like a 1970′s porn-star. :shock:

RRR,

When I was in school A.D.D. was just called being a B.O.Y
We don’t have any B.O.Y’s anymore. And even fewer M.E.N.

Im very familiar with A.D.D.& LD because I have had it. I never had H.A.D.D.(hyper attention deficit disorder, note: this acronym is no longer used. My mistake for using it. :oops: ). Your B.O.Y. & M.A.N. is was what I was confused with and still am. I consider myself having great direction in my life and a fair amount of energy. :mrgreen: It appears your school was confused of what B.O.Y. & M.A.N. acronym are, and that they are not remotely related to ADD & ADHD. Who is ‘we’ and why don’t you have any more boys? Is there a problem with the X chromosome where they live? Why is their a shortage of men? :neutral:

Or a Cananian hockey player :grin:

Congratulations, Chief!

Hey Billy, how you doin? I’m doing good. I got my raise at work today and my cubbies are 33 above 500. Bring on the Phillies! I think I’ve been doing 2 much homework lately so I’m due for a break, at least for a while. That was a lovely outfit Marina had on! I hope you and everybody else have a nice labor day weekend! Cheers! :cool:

has it ocurred to you that they dont need exact numbers because they know for a fact the giraffe can kick much harder than the minimum amount itd need ot to kick the head off? for instance, i can safely say that i can punch hard enough to break someone’s nose, because the 2 numbers (how hard i would need to punch and ho w hard i can) aren’t even close enough to bother calculating. i suspect this is the case with giraffes. also, due to your comment about “…much like other things you choose to believe” i assume you are referring to my disbelief of evolution and i also assume that you do support it. so let me ask you this: who has ever actually seen someone evolve into something else? nobody… so the argument “whos seen that happen” is kind of a weak one to be honest =/ o snap…i just realized i said i wasn’t gonna respond to any posts =( o well ive typed it all now so may as well put it up.

Hi ya,
I was wondering about the origins of the word: cleavage.

can you help me
from you dear stundent :)

Hello Marina, did you see the latest entry into the best Weekend Ever contest? Charles Trippy.

Click on the Recently posted link on that site. There are two “What Weekend?” videos. Don’t click on the video that shows Video Conversion in Process. He munged that one and it may lock your browser.

He is emulating your video, crying to sxephil’s show and colab’ng with your phone call. He is attempting a coup from 5th position with 94 votes. He already burned 86 votes on the munged upload.

Friends, we need to stay in first place.

Hey labatt78… I’m good , but tired as well.
You got a raise…cool, do you get more work to do because you get more money?
You’re going to school too? summer time?huh You still surprise me…
I agree on Marina’s outfit, ideal for a hot day. She looked cool while the dog struggled to stay cool on the tile by the door.

Interesting, but not solved it seems, “…borrowed from the Arabic word, which was most likely of African origin?” Sounds like there is more to investigate to me, or do we have a dead end here? :?:

It’s a good thing that I’m not Teacher’s Pet any more.
People would be calling me Marina’s Beaver. :shock:

REQUEST:
I was just checkin’ out the “What is your favorite day of the week” poll when suddenly curiosity strikes. Whats the origin of the whole 7-day week anyways?
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday…..
What do the names of the days of the week mean?
Is this same 7-day cycle used all over the world?
So yeah! Hook it us with some knowledge girl!

Who’s John and why is she done with him?

Just voted at “Best weekend ever”, Marina is ahead 843 votes to 571.
She should make the finals and win the whole kit and caboodle.

I understand the “kit” bit but where does “caboodle” come from? :???:

Is it like “canoodle”? :shock:

i think you should do the worlds camel toe and then show us yours as an example

Hi love your lessons!!! I was wondering if u knew where the word “tottie” originated. :roll:
Thxs .xxxx

Holy Murphy’s Law! Can someone check the FAQ on the contest site to verify that the contest has been extended by 2 week? Link is above.

It was supposed end this Sat, but it shows a new ending date of Sept 13.
which is an additional two weeks.

“Hail to the Chief, if you don’t he’ll have to kill you / He is the chief, so you’d better watch your step, you bastards.”
– ref. the film My Fellow Americans

I checked FAQ and the Rules.

It now looks like :-

Upload period : 21 July -> 7 Sept
View Phase: 8 Sept -> 13 Sept

I guess, they want more videos uploaded?

Only one way to look at this …
Two more weeks for Marina to slaughter the opposition.
New target – 3000 votes? 30,000? How many subscribers does she have?

Thanks for the FAQ check koalabear.
It’s weird. They have just under 60 submissions. The videos with the highest views all have the lowest votes. Out of the 50+ some videos, only 5 videos have votes over 100.

Yep

Another couple of weeks for Marina’s army, to kick serious butt.

I guess a lot of the people who view the videos don’t care to vote.
It’s not the fastest web site on the planet.

Marina’s army of supporters are like “fire ants”! Point us in the right direction and we will not stop. :grin:

This means war, this is Sparta…. not giving up now…

I even recruited Marina’s sister to start voting…I’m recruiting more neigbors… this is Sparta!!!

This is Sparta!!!

I liked this one.

Is the love letter contest over yet?

what does tis mean it poppedup on a pop up andi havent been aqble to find out what it means Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis it has 45 letters and ive never heard it being spokn

And that is why… It was a great Question….

Thanks for the info…

Hi Marina,

I love your lessons!! Keep it up!

I was also wondering where the word “voluptuous”, came from.

It turned up in your “Hot Synonyms” video.

Please investigate!!! :wink:

Horse – 2.9 hours
Donkey – 3.1 hours
Sheep – 3.8 hours
Cow – 3.9 hours
Asiatic elephant – 3.1
Pilot whale – 5.3

@ 864 and looking good. :cool:

#3 @ 528 with gas can in hand. :lol: :lol:

Viva Las Vegas!! :!: :!:
Gee, Marina could headline her own one girl show there.
HotForWords Does Vegas.
(I was thinking a word show not some porn crap)

Interesting.

but you do realize that 299 out of the 300 spartan warriors got killed, right?

aLx, your going to catch some shit again for pointing that out.

yeah, i’m the biggest fan on here. umm. get it? fan? ambiguous? i made a joke! yay!

and you said “yay!” you must have some new meds.

The site sucks for speed. And having to register for what really is a throw-away promo site to be able to vote – I can see why there are not a lot of votes for anyone.

PS I did register, and voted for Marina repeatedly. I just didn’t use my real name, address, age, or anything else that the marketing guys wanted with the registration data.

actually, one too little. don’t worry, though, gonna pick up a new prescription today. did it scare you? my bad. i got carried away or something.

Nice try :lol:

I was wondering where the word punk came from(as an insult :?: :?: :?: ). Hot 4 words must investigate this!!!

FIrefox is better, it has complements for the Ogame :shock:

Marina, what’s the etymology of the word “eloquence”?
(as demo’ed in this vid [Miss Teen USA South Carolina 2007 with Subtitles])

ELOQUENCE is Latin ELOQENTIA “easiness of speech”.
The word can be cut E-LOQUENT-IA :
E = EX = OUT + LOQUENT = SPEAKING (past participle) + IA = NESS (suffix). If I dare say it would be OUTSPEAKINGNESS in English.

Hey Hotforwords:
I’d like to know the origin of scantily-clad.
thank you!

A slow motion train wreck.? :grin:

Never heard that one before.  I once had a young (not full-grown) seal spend the night in my bathroom, I was rescuing it from a storm.  It slept with me on the floor, even climbing-up on me & cuddling on top of me so I was stuck there the entire night. Sea World came the next morning to get it. The guy had a long pole with a noose around it, I told him “No way!” and I carried the seal to the cage on the truck like you would a small child or pet–GREAT animal, like a dog with flippers. But more to point you see seals sleeping all over the place. Unless you’re talking about Navy Seals…

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

There once was a curious Giraffe,
who was teased for the odd verbal gaffe.
To impress all the herds,
He joined Hotforwords,
put an end to his errs and their laugh.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The problem is that Arabic زَرَافَة ZURAFA is certainly a Semitic root as old as the night.
When words are “pure” roots/stems it’s impossible to search further unless you have a time machine. Do you know that Language is certainly as old as humanity : 100 000 to 1 000 000 000 years old !
Let’s take a European animal like the dog. DOG is certainly mysterious but what about HOUND that was used maybe 3000 years again by Germanic ancestors…

okay, so argentina and england are arguing about the falklands, u.s. and russian hegemonies are in conflict. this shit seems very familiar. if one is really interested in words and rhetoric and their role in influencing world events, now is a great time to observe and analyze the communications occurring between governments.

This is the second time I have entered a contest and they’ve decided to extend it. With Ocean Potion I had 150,000 views vs. 4,000 views for everybody else combined.. they extended the contest, someone made a video last minute and they won. Charlestrippy just made a video, so be prepared for him to pass me.

It’s greek META-PHOR- = TRANS-PORT-
Example : THE SUN = THE EYE OF THE SKY : it’s a transportation of one meaning to another in fact.

It’s dutch VRIJ BUITER = FREE PLUNDERER

Cute Cashy! :-)

give her some credit. when i first saw it, a few months ago, i was like, wtf? but i contemplated this. after all, it’s not a “miss thought” contest or something, it’s “miss teen.”
one of germany’s best soccer players once answered a question with “it’s like chess, only without dice” … ummm … okay, dude … same thing. it doesn’t really matter to me if he knows how to play chess or provide a correct analysis of a sentence. he’s a soccer player. he’s supposed to score goals. that’s what he does, and he’s pretty fucking good at it. — that’s knowledge, too. even intelligence. you get the ball, you got like half a second to decide what to do. regarding soccer, his brain works very fast. would yours in this situation?

Marina,
I would like to know where the phrase, “Knocked up” came from.

yeah, but “yay!” is frightening when any adult uses it. it usually means ones rational thought is being overwhelmed with euphoria. terribly frightening when combined with weapons… speaking of 300.

don’t bet on it .. someone mentioned that the winner is selected (somehow) from the top three highest votes. … seems plausible.

well, it wasn’t combined with weapons.

right, you were just frightening. had you said that holding a machete and a dandy hat… terribly frightening.

you are very attentive.

Woving water :oops: makes me sea sick.

.. eh?

i was thinking along those lines …

.. but then i thought: meh .. what the hell .. it’s funny … and isn’t that what’s most important when posting on the internet?

Ocean Potion??
What have I missed ? :smile:

I can understand why her comment sounded less definitive now. Maybe we can narrow it down to a specific African click…

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/african-click-language-holds-key-to-origins-of-earliest-human-speech-591505.html

HA! made you respond. I don’t believe in evolution either. However, your analogy of punching someones nose, is spurious because millions of noses have been broken by being punched or otherwise hit. So it has been thoroughly tested. NO lions head has ever been knocked off by anything. SOOOOOOO SNAP! :lol:

hi there…
i wonder if there is something about word ”Botox”
maybe it’s just for me, but i think this word is weird + i dont like how it sounds…
tnx.

I feel fortunate to have classmates such as you all. HotForWords is a phenomenon not to be forgotten soon. Chief :cool:

I might need that.

Привет мой дорогой преподаватель,

Your expert abilities with words reminded me of my believe, rightly or not, that Russians were very good at reading between the lines of the formerly state controlled newspaper, Pravda, thus creating very critical thinkers of the political environment. (Am I over-thinking this? :idea: )

With this in mind, I wondered if Russians follow the United States’ Presidential election and what their reactions are regarding the candidates.
Спасибо.

С уважением,

Ваш Дорогой Студент

OOH OOH OOH! Pick me for the next teacher’s pet Ms. Orlova pleaseeeeee!

Also did you hear a quote by this one supermodel named Linda Evangelista? It went like “It was God who made me so beautiful, if I weren’t I’d be a teacher.” Good stuff Marina for proving her wrong AND looking better than her!

Also Marina can you derive the word “super model”? Are they really “super” to begin with? Whats so differerent between supermodels and models :?: :???:

Thanks Marina

Who’s Trippy… found him & watched 2 vids, one about seezing while driving??? One about, ah, I forget. no more… Reminds me of Spicoli. He may get a bunch of votes, but they”l fade, at about 4:20.
Yeah I liked your Ocean Potion entry too, winners don’t always win, that’s what makes it interesting, huh?

the animal that sleeps the least is the elephant. no wonder they always look so haggard!

Thanks for your comment on my video Marina! I want camelopard too. I am getting closer to a mac though. I just hope final cut pro isn’t to hard to use

Well FOUL on so many levels. :evil:
The extention sucks. :evil:
Charlestrippy video generally sucks except for a cameo appearance. :evil:
Talk about plagiarizing the idea. :evil:
With a poor copy of the idea. :evil:
Talk about stealing video inserts. :evil:
And his final product sucks. Drinking and pissing. :evil:
FOUL FOUL FOUL :!: :!: :!:

What happened with the Best Weekend Ever contest? Your running away with it.

Today’s quote might be poetry

“Hell is paved with good samaritans.” – William M. Holden

I’d say a more acurate description would be, the “road to” hell is paved with good samaritans. Run over by the croud, because they were going the wrong way. Slay me, if you will.

Marina,

Maybe not so bad. :shock:
Charlestrippy submission violates the contest rules. :grin:

(b) the video must be the submitting entrant’s original, previously unpublished work and not contain any third party copyrighted material;

With his copying parts of your video he has violated the rules. :razz: :razz:

Hi, i`m Brazilian and would know the origin of the word LAND.
I realy like you, good job.
O lot of kisses

just saying, if one is interested in understanding significant political events by studying rhetoric. the best opportunity is to analyze the earliest communications. frequently popular opinion is based on the headlines that emerge as a response to an escalation in aggressive posturing. i think that many miss the opportunity to understand the basic details of these events that are carried in the most immediate exchanges prior to front page attention.

i’ve been trying to follow the communications regarding a navy vessel bringing relief materials to georgia. accompanying them was an armed navy vessel. there was a lot of exchanges made regarding which port to enter, one was still in control of russian forces, how close should the armed ship be, what was the relief ship really carrying and so on. as well as the rhetoric by our lame duck president and that of putin and medvedev, the responses of ambassadors and other officials in associated countries.

this type of information became really relevant when england sunk that ship in the falklands war. to make a really informed judgment i think you have to start analyzing the most immediate rhetoric and stay on top of it and compare it to new information, instead of waiting around for a president or prime minister to tell you what to think.

I would like to Request the word ( glib. ):

dude if you don’t want to spend the money for final cut pro, imovie would work just fine for the basic video your shooting. i can’t afford final cut pro, and i’ve done all my video and audio editing with imovie, it comes with your mac. i’d try imovie out first and then consider the final cut pro purchase.

The “Best Weekend Ever” website is a lot faster now.

Vote for Marina. :smile:

Botulinetoxine…I think it’s like one of the most toxic matter know to humans, and that’s what millions of people inject in their face, kinda weird :lol:

ha! thats funny! and so true in a very general kind of way ignoring the times in which voting did change things. u.s. citizens ought to vote more frequently, really.

Im noticing something interesting about the ‘Favorite day of the week’ poll. Ok I know Friday and Saturday were going to be very popular, but I never would have guessed Monday would out rank Wednesday & Thursday. You hear many people talk about the Monday blues. I wonder why this is? :???:

that would be Botulinum toxin in English…

Well, in all fairness, they have a question and answer segment so that the competition will, in part, be decided by the ability to think on one’s feet and formulate a good and poised answer on the fly. She failed miserably, but I think the way she was treated afterwards was abysmal. She was a 16 year old girl who fucked up a beauty pageant. She ought to have been able to walk away from it.

:oops: I was playin’ dumb ‘cos i’m drawn to the subject. However, i promised to myself i’d keep schtum on politics ‘cos i tend to get a little vicious and shame myself.

I agree with that 100% Billy. :mrgreen:

:shock: I see spots….

How much is Final Cut Pro?

mondays are the days that many go to work and waste time on the internet. popularity of weekdays decrease after that as people are trying to make up for slaking off earlier in the week and must do increasing amounts of actual work toward friday.

Some fish don’t sleep at all, and 1/2 of a dolphin’s brain goes to sleep, while the other half stays alert to sense predators.

You could always try out Final Cut Express for about $200. See the comparison if Express would fit your needs. http://camcorders.about.com/od/videoediting/a/FinalCutCompare.htm

Do a lot of people “slake off” at work?

oh… apologies for the diatribe then. i wonder if there is a hotforpolitcs.com?

People that vote as I do should vote more frequently. Other people can stay home.

Monday was my favorite when I loved my work and could escape the “starter wife”…. go figure….

About $1,200 US

predators? depends on the type of dolphins. some species don’t have any.

Okay, Phrase request please…

“Freudian slip”

I still see spots….

No Prospero, what he meant was that people take steaks off the barbecue when they are done. It’s called staking off. :razz:

this is why an attached forum would be a good idea. :X

I voted for you.

The rules say the contest phases go through 9/7 and 9/13. Were the rules different before?

sharks

I never knew you had to pay for it.. I thought finalcut came with the mac.. You can probably get off a torrent though

forum attached to what?

koalabear ,No they see you guys hitting the site really hard so they are going to run with it. Its all about promoting the movie to increase ticket sales. :smile:

I would really like Marina to win, but I would bet a $1 on her wining. Im very interested in seeing who wins this contest. If she doesn’t win then my theory will hold true that the winner is always picked randomly on marketing contests.

This is Lesbos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WyafqUoKak&feature=related

umm … you think any shark is gonna mess with him?

attached to this site.

hutchiee, Your a very smart man! Your one of those people that marketing people hate. But since there are so few of you that think like this, marketing writes off about 2% to 14% of invalid data in the price of the sale of that information. To this day it amazes me how companies can sell a list of contact data to other companies that would be interested in the type of people who would watch this movie. It almost looks like movie are made just for marketing and not for entertainment.Oops I should have said that. Now there are some men in black suits standing at the door of my yacht wanting to take me away.

How about a sloth? It requires a lot of sleep, I think.

Your right Alx, dolphins can actually and do kill sharks just by ramming them. Plus they can out swim and out maneuver even a great white.

nah, you can get it 100% free to :mrgreen:

iMovie used to come with the mac years ago. Now its part of ‘iLife’ package. Final Cut is a professional app that was never intended to be offered for free. Yes you can find any popular mac app on torrent. Copy protection on the mac side you will find very lax vs the pc side.

Hi koalabear, errr, hmmmm, sensitive subject. Marina entered a contest a few months back for a suntan lotion product. As you know, Marina makes the best videos in the world. It was a 31 seconds packed video with excellent storyline, execution and production without words. I think there are no copies on the web. I have a copy as it is an example of excellent movie making.

Here is a dialog about that topic few videos back regarding that video.

for what it’s worth …
I keep track of a few sites (via rss) for alternative opinion and info.
e.g.

http://www.russiatoday.com/en (only recently found this when looking for info on Georgia invasion of S.Ossetia)

yeah…mac sucks…I got crazy of that jumping update thing and installed some mac osx 10…..pack ,and now i get THIS message everytime i start it up…..I think i’m gonna reinstall mac ,cause if have no idea how to fix this applecrap

They just are the tops in their industry. You can use Pro Models vs Armature Models because they both are making money as a profession. Think of it this way. Very popular actors that make the big bucks vs average actors that get very little pay.

We generally call those “Killer Whales” which, although the species is a member of the dolphin family, they aren’t typically referred to as dolphins. Nevertheless, they sleep the same way (1/2 brain at a time).

Can you show us the video of Ocean Potion for the one’s that missed it?

If that’s true, then why hasn’t the average american (or brit) managed to develop the same ability with his own news media?

Western corporate media has been much better at blinkering opinion than the state run efforts of the ex-USSR. Why is that, i wonder?

(i was referring to: “Russians were very good at reading between the lines of the formerly state controlled newspaper, Pravda, thus creating very critical thinkers of the political environment.”)

Never mind Miss M Karl posted after I did so I know you deleted it. Thanks anyway.

doesn’t matter what you call them, they’re dolphins. and they don’t have to fear any predators.

Armature Models

your elec eng background seeped into your post, CJ.

I never knew you had to pay for it.. I thought finalcut came with the mac.. You can probably get off a torrent though

I would suggest (my personal view) that a torrent source for the sw is valid for a copy that you’d use to asses the sw and develop skills. But, i’d say, once you intend to use the sw to post the material for general public use, get a paid-for copy.

Hi prospero811, just answering your question down below:

“Were the rules different before?”

Yes, the original ending date of the contest was supposed to be this Sat. Aug 30. About a day or two ago, the contest people extended the contest by two weeks to Sept 13.

Hey Sexxybeast7, come on now that’s no way to ask Marina that kind of question now is it :?: :smile: Please be nice with the questions, ok? Thanks for understanding. :wink: :grin:

Well, they still sleep half a brain at a time, and since that was the import of the question speculation on natural selection are collateral. Perhaps in the case of the Killer Whale it’s a vestigial feature, or perhaps it provided survival advantages for other reasons.

Hey Marina,
if u could help me out with the origin of the word “cigarette”! :wink:

[these sharks] certainly ain’t gonna mess with him.

Correct, the top 3 voted-for videos enter the finals from which a winner is picked by the sponsors of the contest based on style, originality, skill, and humor.

I think Charles Trippy is having video problems. His video is under conversion. Maybe they have seen he violated the rules and he’s having to reedit his video.

http://www.bestweekendevercontest.com/watch/973207858/What-Weekend?

you first :mrgreen:

while the other half stays alert to sense predators

some species don’t have any

sharks

have i ever disputed that they sleep with one half of their brain? frankly, i don’t care if and why they do.

903 votes. Marina is over 900 votes now.

Hi Marina,

I like to know why there is a difference in english between the words zero, null, nil and even love (in sport).

Hello, Marina :mrgreen: will you marry me?

By the way, I want to know the origin of the word “buzzerbeater”.

yours sincerely,

gudlak

as long as you don’t see dead people :shock:

Charles Trippy has 2 videos… his first one did not compress.. so he uploaded it again. He’s at 337 votes, in the #4 position after one night. So he’s going to probably pass me. He used part of my video in his, with my permission of course :-) But I’d still like to win!

If she doesn’t win then my theory will hold true that the winner is always picked randomly on marketing contests.

huh? why?

can u investgate miscellanaus plz :wink:

Fan from egypt

Hi cap, Trippy has been averaging about 20 votes per hour in the last 12 hours. If Trippy surpasses Marina, all we have to do is keep Marina in the top 3 voted-for videos so she goes to the finals.

Another theory on dolphin sleep is that their method keeps them from suffocating or drowning.

As I said – the portion about why they sleep with one half of their brain was collateral to the main issue.

Thanks for your reply, Mijj. Perhaps, we buy the “pig in a poke” because we assume we are getting the real deal and don’t look in the bag first. The packaging is so impressive.

I am 16. And starting college.. I can’t afford ANYTHING

One thing that does piss me off is this i in front of everything.. liKe thiS: iTunes iPod iLife. For gods sake apple let iT diE. iT iS so annoyiNg.

James… iMovie comes with the Mac for free and does everything you need. You only upgrade to Final Cut once you have exhausted everything that iMovie does.. but you will be fine for quite some time to come.. then when it’s time for Final Cut.. there are ways (academic for one) to get the program for practically nothing. I cna help you out there.

iagree

Thanks Marina. I think I will be getting a mac soon. I looked at one in a shop.. But I never figured out how to turn the camera on!! Thanks for all of the help you have given me

James

Marina vote explosion ahead. Not taking it lying down…

Just ’cause we can’t see the action while sitting on the beach doesn’t mean that there isn’t any.

The unconscious act of making something conscious.

yeh .. there’re a lot of words for nothing, aren’t there

… erm … nothing, naught, nought, nada, zilch, diddly squat, zip, zilch .. etc

Bottle Nose Dolphins actually sleep 10 1/2 hours per day.

A Guppy sleeps 7 hours per day.

The mammal that sleeps the most is a brown bat @ almost 20 hours per day.

Even with your permission he is still in violation of the rules. :shock:
Non “Original” content and “Third Party” content. :twisted:
If you gave permission you couldn’t sue for using it, but then he couldn’t use it for contest purposes in the first place. :lol: :lol:
Besides being a REAL CRUMMY video. :mad: :sad:

Hello Professor Marina. What’s the good word? :wink:

I see dumb people.

I would dispute the premise that the western media has “blinkered” opinion better than the state run efforts of the former Soviet Union. On what do you base that allegation?

A three toed sloth is 14.4 hours.

The text of communications between governments is hard to come by. Pretty much we’re limited to public statements reported in the media.

French for “Small Cigar.”

I think by the rules they have to pick you if you are in the top 3, but the winner is decided by the website without regard to the number of votes. They pick what they think is the best video out of the three.

Note – if you have more than one email address, you can register on that website multiple times, giving yourself 5 votes per day per email address.

Marina,

Pardon my obsequiusness, but your physiognomy is breathtaking!

A neat word at the present moment is probe, and vote isn’t exactly off the top of the list either.                            :arrow:

Sorry for the mis-spelling.

Obsequiosness.

Oops, wrong reply …

Obsequiousness!!

I finally got it right.

Legs.

I think, because the USSR state view was so easily disseminated (centralized state control of information), there was no effort to actually make it become the receiver’s viewpoint. The state merely expected it to become the receiver’s viewpoint because it said so.

Along with that, i presume there was felt little need to get feedback on the effectiveness of the propaganda.

In the west though (US particularly), there’s much more knowledge of the psychology of effective propaganda. e.g. splash headlines might make a suggestive point one way and it would be contradicted in the body of the analysis. The mass of people are susceptible to the headlines. Those who go into details of political analysis are in the minority. So, propaganda is deniable.

Of course, G.Bush’s government is more in the style of the Soviet Union, hence it only made half hearted attempts to create effective propaganda and relied more on assertion and intimidation.

The next US government will be more subtle.

In Spanish only exist the word JIRAFA for this animal :smile:

I think it started with, what’s her name? Janice Dickens? That former supermodel who’s looks are now like a roller coaster. Anyway, she claimed to be the first supermodel when she tried exaggerating her model status, back in the ’80s, I think.

Well, it definetly would not come from no “40 year-old virgin”. That’s for sure. :lol:

Underneath Chuck Norris’ beard, is not a chin… but another FIST! :cool:

Yes there are. But I think only zero, null, nil and love are used to describe this -> 0

More subtle? Do you mean like getting knifed in the back instead of the forehead? Either way, you’ve been had. The press should be the entity shouting, “Watch out!” Not, “Ooooh, did you see that? Shock and awe, impressive.” Boneheads!

I think ‘nymph’ comes from Greek Mythology, as maidens or lesser goddesses of mountains, forests, lakes, etc. But I could be wrong on whether it goes that way far back or not.

You weren’t confusing ‘nymph’ for ‘nympho’, were you? :mrgreen:

you mean in a mathematical sense?

in that sense, i think “null” means “void” or “empty” as in not even 0.

e.g. .. the “null set”.

The cure for cancer is in Chuck Norris’ tears… too bad he never cries.

:smile:

I would like to know why the English language is full of so many heteronym’s.

Such as…

Live
Abuse
Duplicate
Dove
Elaborate
Perfect
Record
Sewer

And so on.

What “animal” gets the least amount of sleep?

…Well, I do suffer from insomnia from time to time. :neutral:

That would make sense, as there is a great deal of Arabic influence on the Spanish language… 750 years of occupation by the Moors.

I’d guess it has a lot to do with being a conglomerate as well as an inclusive and growing language.

Homework: I’d say it would have to be an animal being chased by hordes of hungry predators, like a turkey on the eve of Thanksgiving. :mrgreen:

for some reason goldfish comes to mind, but honestly I have no clue lol! maybe they have the shortest attention span?

sounds cooler is right, borrowed from? sleep is deep

winning would be nice, but your getting good exposure. nice idea to let him use your footage, double exposure.

how about god! god doesn’t sleep. unless one believes jesus is god, then he probably slept. but then jesus also spoke with god and called him father, so maybe he wasn’t god but the son of god, no wait, he was god but a god that slept and the god the father didn’t have to, so the big god didn’t sleep and the little god did. so one half of god slept while the other half of god didn’t. like dolphins do. yeah, wait… no. never mind.

yep thats rite, but i want to know from where did that word come from, and like Marina says “HOTFORWORDS MUST INVESTIGATE” but thanks anyways. :smile:

every time he looks in the mirror.

hey cut me some slack i’m posting while i’m at work.

I always seem to think of like super heroes when I hear the word supermodel. Must be my inner child kicking in. :mrgreen:

16 starting college?

:roll: I bet she has to stay up all night to figure this one out! Ouch!!

:?: you are thinking of time the way we see it maybe there’s another way of seeing it that we don’t know

thanks, some cool sources. i’m probably a slightly larger dot on the homeland security map of evil doers now. yay!

shes got it there is no competition against her :lol:

well yes, that is what i meant. i wasn’t proposing that one poke around putin’s personal documents or bush’s crayon drawings to better grasp current events. but many of those public statements are limited to sound bites or ignored completely by media and/or the public. one needs to take initiative and do some research.

i mean more subtle in the way the propaganda works.

i.e. .. instead of the blustering machismo of the bush years, there will be a hand-wringing concern that certain actions must be taken in the best interests of … etc. … rather than the Bush years hysterical “we have to attack or we’ll be exterminated” type stuff.

e.g. .. Bush is rightly accused of war crimes committed against Iraq. However, why is Clinton rarely mentioned? .. he’s responsible for the same order of magnitude of deaths in Iraq. By sanctions designed to maintain the crippled state of iraq he also ensured a huge death toll because of lack of essential supplies.
e.g. “UN figures show that up to 5,000 children a month die in Iraq because of the sanctions against Iraq”
http://www.globalpolicy.org/security/sanction/iraq1/2000/clinton.htm

No keep working on it, Don’t give up, our (my) little pea brain can’t take it all in. Our (my) lineal thinking conflicts with my conceptual thinking & then I get tired & go to sleep, or if I’m in the mood to slack off, back to work.
Jesus slept while the others feared for their lives, in the storm & he was awake while the others couldn’t stay awake, in the garden.

yeah billyb, my wife tried explaining the holy trinity to me, didn’t get that. but then she describes compassion, sacrifice and forgiveness. then we started agreeing on things.

yeah, i’m tired of the propaganda

It so happens I’m in daily contact with someone in the TSA .. i’ll send her your name and picture.

Moose and Squirrel and Capman911 have that part covered about more than one address :twisted:

been there done that

You know if humans could do like dolphins and put half their brain to sleep and keep working with the other half think of all the over time you could make. Only if your body could stand up to not resting.

I never really had a favorite day. Working 24 hour shifts and then off for 24 hours we only worked 10 days a month. But we worked a 56 hour work week. Then we had 4 days off straight every week. Then work three 24 hour shifts again then off 4 days in a row. This for 33 years and it gives you an excellent opportunity to work another full time second job at the same time. So now that I am retired I bring home three retirement checks each month and that doesn’t include Social security yet. :cool:

Jack you know for the first time in my life since I have been voting I really don’t know yet who I want to vote for. That kinda scares me a little. I afraid of what the republicans put us through for the last 8 years so I am concerned about voting Republican. I don’t know about Democrat because of Obama and what I personally think of his back ground. If I don’t vote I can’t blame anybody but myself for not voting. This to me is a scary year for America.

i’m trying to get her to circulate your picture at all airports.

I don’t think she’s going for it.

I was going to say Jehova’s Witnesses, but…. Never mind! Mi buzzer es su buzzer.

That’s 4.8 hours for each toe. But wait, if a sloth has three toes per appendage, then the sloth requires 1.2 hours per toe. I know quite a bit about sloths, actually, thanks to my friend Sid.

See also references to “Freudian girdle” and “Freudian push-up bra.” Unlike Michael Salvage, Freud wasn’t quite ready to engage in psychological nudity. He felt compelled to leave some of his undergarments on.

I’m such a savage. I misspelled Michael’s last name. :lol:

Just trying to salvage my reputation as a good speller.

Maybe it was a Freudian slip?

It depends on where you live. Sleepless in Seattle, for example.

On Thursday at the Democratic National Convention, Gov. Bill Richardson said more than a few words in Spanish. Then, almost immediately afterwards, he cried, “Let’s take back America!” I was kind of wondering who “us” referred to…

I’m also a bit perturbed that the campaign slogan for the Obama camp is “Yes we can!” which is a direct ripoff of “Si se puede,” the Hispanic battle cry that a Hispanic lady got all of the delegates to shout earlier at the convention this week. I have nothing against HIspanics. In fact, virtually all my students are Hispanic, and I love them dearly. But the campaign slogan, and the speaking of Spanish at the convention, is speaking to a divided America–one where Americans are no longer asked to speak English. It’s not inclusion; it’s pandering. At least my students will grow up speaking English. Being bilingual is a blessing. Refusing to learn English, and expecting politicians to pander, is simply not getting with the program.

I’m sticking my neck out on politics here. Nothing to do with giraffes, who, uh, stick their necks out… Disclaimer: My name is LividEmerald, and I do not necessarily support this message!

Is it possible to retract our political statements? No, no se puede.

How about jibjab? (They have a political web site, as we all know.)

Doesn’t nacht up mean to stay awake at night?

Cathode ray tubes? The boobs who watch TV?

I’m an AVID fan of the word DIVA. Even if it’s scarlet.

There are quite a few chiefs in Kansas City.

Seems that, at any moment and anywhere on the planet, 2/3 of cows are homesick and therefore face northward. By the time the cows do come home, the glaciers will have pretty melted already, and Al Gore will be skinny dipping with the Inuits.

Sperm whales have hands? When I read that, I really flipped!

Marina, what does pigeon-livered mean? I know a Chinese woman who actually takes pride in being pigeon-livered!

If you have to record a song before you can put it on a record and you have to duplicate an item to make a duplicate; then why doesn’t something become elaborate when you elaborate on it. Also, why do you suffer from drug abuse if you abuse drugs?

what do you want to use your computer for? just surfing the web, making videos, do some text processing?

ok first off darn u for making me respond, thats just rude, cuz i cant resist a good argument ;). second, good point about the nose punching, but im not using that as an example for “has anyone seen it” im using it as an example for the “they dont know the numbers” argument. just to make u feel good though, ill make another example (one that i am fairly confident no one has seen/tested. i can no, without doing the calculations, that if i made a little model lion and glued a peach to it as its head, i would be strong enough to punch it off. and i can say that without doin any calculations.

I forget how young this crowd is :smile: … Fact is… you don’t have to record a song before you put it on a record. You can record, live, directly to the record… which is how the process was done for generations before magnetic tape was developed. Perhaps you’re wondering what magnetic tape is… don’t worry, it was the technology that preceded compact discs. True, you must duplicate to make a duplicate. It is even possible to elaborate on a topic, making that topic seem elaborate… and if you have abused something you leave evidence of abuse. In the examples you provide you are comparing verb usage of a word to noun (or adjective) usage… with a slight change in pronunciation to identify one from the other. This is not a big mystery. The humorous sewer/sewer difference should illustrate the need for differing pronunciation most admirably.

i collect vinyl and actually sales are slightly up as cd sales continue to plummet.

I could not help it. When I read this post, I instantly thought of Jethro saying “Uncle Jed that ain’t the family truck, that is my new naught-naught-seven spy car!”

During his childhood, there was a boy who hit a girl in school. CHUCK got angry. CHUCK dealt with the boy. That boy’s name… Stephen Hawking. :shock:

Ok first off Jamme, I like you and your tenacity. You are determined to be right despite the facts. Yes you can make calculations, but it has to be based on some known facts. Gluing a peach to a model lion is not scientific because you have no idea if the scale model is equal to the full size lion. Someone may know how much energy a giraffe can kick, but without knowing how much it takes to knock the head off a lion then all calculations area a mere guess. Sorry. Just don’t believe everything you read.

Where does the F-WORD come from? I mean fuck ofc.. :oops:

Party animals don’t seem to need much sleep…

Apparently there is a Camelopardalis constellation (first recorded in 1624 by Dutch astronomer Jakob Bartsch). The head of the constellation is near Polaris, and unfortunately the constellation is rather faint. But a point-to-point drawing of the major stars within it does make a crude stick figure of a giraffe.

Marina, the name kangaroo has an interesting origin too.
Fish, whales, sharks, etc., don’t require much, if any, sleep.
Do ants sleep? Who cares?!

geronimo, its i-am-me, not Jamme -.-. also, im not even gonna bother talking to u nemore, as u apparently cant understand wat it is im trying o tell u, and secondly i wasnt planning on responding at all in the first place so ya..

and by the way (i no i said i wasnt gonna post again but i coudltn resist), i have a phrase id like u to think about: “absence of proof is not proof of absence” just because you havent seen proof that giraffes can kick a lions head off doesnt prove that they cant. so i dont know why you are acting like you have been proven correct…its basically a stalemate until one of us can “prove” our point, and i guarantee you my point can be proven much easier han yours can.

It is not a stalemate because here is my proof. http://www.snopes.com/horrors/mayhem/burundanga.asp
This article says that it can crush a lions skull, but that is a huuuuuuge difference from knocking the head off a lion. The energy to knock the head off a free standing lion would be off the charts. Any giraffe thaqt could do that would be able to leap 30 feet in the air. I win.

I am totally in love, you are an angel.

I just heard a joke which I have to share:-
Q. What do you get if you cross a camel with a leopard?
A. A fire-side rug that you can have a good hump on. :lol:

I’ve heard of a few inventors and creators who can’t sleep for more than a few hours at a time. That’s as close as you can get I think Marina. Though it seems like you and HFP barely get any sleep anyways.

good job as always…rain coming with ice snow…bees are good and so are you

Marina, you missed a point here. The word “giraffe” is not coming from the arab language. “girafe” is the form used in french, but the arabic word is “zarafa”.

In South Africa, the word is pronounced with a hard g, and the vowels are shorter. It sounds like gear-off. The accent is on the second syllable, too.

Like gear-OFF.

I read recently that dolphins (porpoises, that is) sleep with only half their brain at a time, so technically they don’t sleep at all.

great info, ddull2000….[boats and boots] :smile:

I know that the cetaceans (all whales, dolphins and porpoises) are capable of hemispheric sleep. Since they need to be partially conscious to breathe it’s suggested that one half of their brains (hence “hemispheric”) shuts down, or sleeps, while the other half is active so the animal can take in breaths. The behavior called ‘logging’ in whales is when this happens. Off the top of my head I don’t know how long this lasts but I think it’s interesting nonetheless.
