leviramsey Posted May 15, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted May 15, 2010 I wonder if Levi has ever visited Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg I only lived for a couple of years in the next town over... How come that article doesn't mention Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg? And why isn't it twinned with Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch? Because the article is for the next town over from Webster, where the lake in question (officially either Lake Webster or Lake Chaubunagungamaug) is. The official native-derived name translates as "Fishing place at the boundaries and neutral meeting ground"... Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg reputedly translates as "You fish on your side, I fish on my side, nobody fish in the middle", but there is some doubt as to the validity (though it's not that much of an elaboration on "neutral fishing place").

mjmooney Posted May 19, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted May 19, 2010 Some aphids have telescoping generations. That is, the parthenogenetic, viviparous female has a daughter within her, who is already parthenogenetically producing her own daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonno_2004 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Cracking your knuckles does not actually hurt your bones or cause arthritis. The sound you hear is just gas bubbles bursting. Cracking your knuckles (or any of your joints) can have therapeutic benefits. When you crack one of your joints you are pulling the bones that are connected at the joint apart from each other. This process stimulates your tendons, relaxes your muscles, and loosens your joints. Chiropractors do this for spinal joints when your back is sore and stiff, but you can do this on your own for your knuckles, toes, knees, neck, etc. Unfortunately, there can be too much of a good thing. Cracking your knuckles will never lead to arthritis (despite what your mom keeps telling you), but scientists have discovered that it can cause tissue damage in the affected joints. Knuckle-cracking pulls your finger bones apart which stretches your ligaments. Too much stretching of your ligaments will cause damage to your fingers akin to the arm injuries sustained by a baseball pitcher who throws too many pitches. In addition to making your hand really sore, this ligament damage can also result in reduced grip strength. How does this work? Your joints, the places in your body where you can bend, are where your bones intersect and are held together by ligaments. These joints are surrounded by a liquid called synovial fluid. When you stretch your ligaments by pulling the bones apart to crack your knuckles a gas in the synovial fluid escapes and turns into a bubble. This process is called cavitation. Cavitation ends when the bubble eventually bursts, producing that popping sound we know and love. After that, your joints won't be able to crack for another 25-30 minutes while the gas gets reabsorbed into the synovial fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 The only word that is pronounced the same in every (major) language is 'Taxi'. Even languages which share little in common with English, such as Russian, Hindi, Korean, Hebrew, and even Welsh, still pronounce the word the same, although the spelling of it may alter.

BOF Posted May 19, 2010 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2010 Ah f*ck it, it deserves to be in here too. This season, Bursaspor became only the 2nd club ever from outside Istanbul to win the Turkish "Süper Lig", adding their name to the 'list' along with Trabzonspor.
