Vagueness and the Aftermath - A sporadic diary

[RED-DOG]

What do we want?
Bird and van pics!

When do we want them?
Anytime soon would be nice.

If I wanted highbrow I would get cortisone injections, badoom tish.

Yes, all that was for that horrific punchline.

Hedgehog do you ?

Was in the garden last night.

Woo! Nice one. Hedgehogs are difficult to photograph.

The Romany word for hedgehog is hotchiwichi.

Creation is often meant to imply that there is a 'creator'.

http://creation.com/

The people responsible for that site have a hell of an agenda and exhibit incredible selection bias

The bloke doing the introduction seems nice.

What do you think the agenda is?

Is there a danger that I will end up believing in God and spend the rest of my days secure in the knowledge that when I die I will go to heaven?

Even if you believe in it, there's no way you're going to heaven

Ah, but that doesn't mean to say that I wont go if it does exist.

That is pure porn for a linguist like me!

When I was doing languages stuff that used to facinate me is things like woof woof.

Russian = Гав Гав (Gav Gav)
Farsi     = loads of different ones but I remember hap hap

you think how can a dog sound be so different but when you a Russian dog it does actually sound like it's saying gavgav.

Anyway, van pics plz, no bunnies.

In Japanese, a mouse goes 'chu-chu'.  A dog goes 'wan-wan'.

So far, I think hap hap is the closest, & woof woof is the furthest away. The thought of a dog making a 'W' sound with those lips is ridiculous.

Hang on a minute though, what about howling?

AWOOOOOO

OMG! What a great question.

I need to think on it, but I promise to answer.

You answered it in the first three letters.

[millidonk]

Great stuff. Boshi, what sound does a cow make in yaponski? they always seem to be moo in languages i know.

Name the animal: (قورباغه) 'Ghur bargeh' that is both the name of the animal and the sound it makes.

I could have been referring to this O.

Cows go: モーモー which sounds like more-more.

Is that Arabic the name and noise of a camel?

Not Arabic, it's Farsi (Persian if you will) it's for a frog. Camel has many names, the one used most is pronounced chotur. The word sheer in Farsi means lion, milk and tap. Pronounced exactly the same in each instance. I love words like that, Man I should have never quit languages. I actually have Rosetta Stone for Japanese, but only done an hour or so, only thing I remember is something g like " oki kuduroo dess"

[kinboshi]

No idea what that means!

 How many languages have you studied? Always jealous of cunning linguists.
