Most male marsupials, except for the two largest species of kangaroo, the eastern grey kangaroo and red kangaroo[citation needed], have a bifurcated penis, separated into two columns, so that the penis has two ends corresponding to the females' two vaginas.[22][23][20][24][25][26][27][28]

hmm, needs a few more references. i don't know if i'll be able to sleep tonight what wiht uncertainty about how many ends the penis of the red kangaroo has

lol if you really think there are a million words in english. there are maybe a quarter that, including specialist vocabulary and a bunch of archaic poo poo that was used like once in 1633.

the "million words" thing is pseudolinguistic bullshit popularised by the same credulous journalists who think scientists spend their time calculating the formula for the perfect forums post.

hangul is constructed script so it's apparently very easy to learn, but like japanese, the koreans still fall back on chinese characters when their other scripts can't hack it
not entirely true, the democratic people's republic of korea has abolished the elitist hanja of the intellectual bourgeoisie and uses exclusively the beautiful hangul script bequeathed to the nation by the eternal president kim il-sung.

Proverbs are used in conversation by adults more than children, partially because adults have learned more proverbs than children. Also, using proverbs well is a skill that is developed over years. Additionally, children have not mastered the patterns of metaphorical expression that are invoked in proverb use. Proverbs, because they are indirect, allow a speaker to disagree or give advice in a way that may be less offensive. Studying actual proverb use in conversation, however, is difficult since the researcher must wait for proverbs to happen.

Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo,
Aureli pathice et cinaede Furi,
qui me ex versiculis meis putastis,
quod sunt molliculi, parum pudicum.
Nam castum esse decet pium poetam
ipsum, versiculos nihil necessest;
qui tum denique habent salem ac leporem,
si sunt molliculi ac parum pudici
et quod pruriat incitare possunt,
non dico pueris, sed his pilosis
qui duros nequeunt movere lumbos.
Vos, quod milia multa basiorum
legistis, male me marem putatis?
Pedicabo ego vos et irrumabo.

if the chart is supposed to display 'look how they work me like a slave' and you make a chart and include entries for 'assistants help me' forgive me for assuming that they are working for you and you could be doing other stuff during those periods

e: in other words, with no context and just that chart, i had a laugh hth
so ... you don't see any difference between "X helping me" and "X working for me"? because to any native speaker of english with grade-school level reading comprehension skills it is obvious that someone "helping me" means that I am continuing to work, just not alone any more.

The film is about 2012 Britain's Got Talent winner Pudsey the dog on an adventure. Pudsey uses his ability to walk on his hind legs and knock people over to save the day.

Pudsey starts as a dog in a movie set, but he ends up fired after causing havoc. Pudsey runs away in disgrace and catches a bus, and there is several school kids on there. When the bus stops, Pudsey runs down the street. Some bullies from the bus bully some other kids. Pudsey runs back and knocks the bullies over. The bullied kids take Pudsey home with them. They are siblings and their names are Molly, Tommy and George. Tommy does not speak much. The kids' mum gets rid of Pudsey so the family can move house after the dad died. Molly, George and Tommy take Pudsey to a lady who looks after dogs. But the lady turns out to be evil after she says shes going to dye him pink and do horrible things to him like shes done to some poodles. Pudsey, because he is specially trained, opens the door and runs away, and jumps into a white van. The poodles escape too. The white van turns out to be the van that is moving the siblings' things, so Pudsey is moved to Chuffington with the family. And It's Bad.
