Huh. Can you type a phrase in German for me? I want to see what the language looks like . . . I've never actually seen the language, or heard it.

Hm... There is some trouble with writing German with our alphabet. They have a few things we don't like an essette, which represents two successive S's. There are also symbols such as the umlaut, which we don't use. However something simple shouldn't be too hard.

"Gutten Tag. Wie heisst du, und woher commst du?" In English "Good day. What is your name, and where do you come from?"

Huh. Interesting.

There are a lot of words which sound the same as well. Haus=house, gut=good, braun=brown, and so on.

English is actually a Germanic language.

It just has taken a lot of words from French, a Romance language, because of William the Conqueror taking over.

Yup. the french screwed it all up and made it weird. lol.

Originally English was the form of old high German spoken by the Angles and Saxons. Old English is basically German.

Interesting. I know that the Anglish/Saxon was from Latin, but I didn't know it was also German based.

It's not from Latin. Not at all. It's from Indoeuropian. So is Latin.

Well, now we know why English makes so little sense; they put French in it meaning a bunch of pain-in-the-butt silent consonants.

Bleh. Similar Roots. >.<

Linguistic I am not. Language I know not either.

I'm bilingual. German and English.

I tried learning Spanish . . . epic failure. >.<

An email a friend of mine just got:

Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose
Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'
When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'
Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.
Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.
He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the womens restroom.
Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.
Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

>.<

I've heard all those before. I think that they're part of the How to Annoy People things.

One of them. I have a book with a bunch in it. :) I love it.

It's still funny though.

indeed. :) I enjoy suck things, being a weirdo like I am.

Kind of like me giggling like a little girl when I watch crap get blown up.

That's why we love Mythbusters . . . They blow things up. >.<

I finally got my game in the mail so I've been playing it most of the day.
Last night my aunt had another episode and since mom was at work I got to take her to the hospital. I was there from 9pm to 1:30am. And they still hadn't done anything with her. So I finally left. They finally placed her in a syc hospital around 1pm today.

I blow things up on my own. I'm into weapons, and my best friend is a physics major... who's also into weapons. lol.

Okay, where are you guys? I want to meet you now so that I get to help you guys blow shit up. *is into guns*

lol. We do other nerd stuff too. We've always been into martial arts and any kind of fighting technology. It's lots of fun.

:cry: I wanna blow shit up too...

Which is why being a Mythbuster would be the perfect job for me. I'm like Jamie; MAKE SHIT GO BOOM!!!!

lol. "I wanna learn to blow shit up with my mind." XD I love that movie.
