The "Thank Jenny" love conquers all thread of glory - Show the Luv countdown

July 17, 2007, 04:46 PM posted in General DiscussionLUV'A THON - A short long while ago I started to use Chinesepod. (over a year ago) Back then I would say things like, I wish there were more podcasts, maybe even 365, one for every day of the year. There are now over 500 podcasts. It must be great to be a new user of Chinesepod.
In fact though, it's still great for long time users, and a huge part of that is the dedication from the whole Cpod staff. Early on I mentioned to Jenny that I thought one of the most significant factors to learning language was having someone to share that language with every day.
Jenny has done that thru her podcasts day in and day out, and it's only a pleasure for me to tune in, engage my Chinese and grow in my ability to appreciate more things thru the Chinese language. I owe her a lot of thanks.
Of course there are the others, Ken, XiaoXia, Connie, Amber, the tech and support crew in the back...and oh yes John. I'll take the opportunity to thank John in THIS thread if he doesn't mind. Thanks John, for Sinosplice too!
I'd also like to give a shout out to the others who are active in posting and sharing their insights. I hope they'll join me in a few posts of appreciation here. :)
So hey, now I turn this thread over to YOU, over the next 24 hours, let's give a shout out to Jenny, and the other staff members. It's our tricky little ploy to make them happy and work harder for us!!
谢谢Chinesepod!
Countdown starts now, where are you posting from!

July 18, 2007, 07:17 AM恶意 - Jenny has bad hair. John can't jump. It always rains in Vancouver. And everyone should write in bo fo mo. Pinyin is bad, go traditional. Heck, and what's with Ken's fake Irish accent, we know he's Chinese. And don't buy any more Made In China products. Americans all have guns. You all have forced me to go negative. 我没办法啊 ！;p (Please no response posts with real profanity, insults or flaming, I'm only joking) 恶 e4 evil 意 yi4 idea evil intentions italiana, 只有你是我的好朋友！ zhi you ni shi wo de hao peng you only have you are my good friend You're my only good friend! :)

Jenny, you are a little Christmas present which I get everyday at 6pm, one that I anticipate with great excitement, counting down the hours till it's time to check my computer for the next little package of linguistic joy : ) Thank you a GOOGOL times (do you know what number a googol is? It's the number that Google is based on.)

July 18, 2007, 08:30 AMWow I did not know this, how interesting 有趣有趣，you qu you qu. --------------- A googol is the large number 10100, that is, the digit 1 followed by one hundred zeros. Google, the Internet search engine, was named after this number. Larry Page, one of the founders, was fascinated with mathematics and Googol, even during high school. They ended up with "Google" due to a spelling mistake. (I like that...a spelling mistake!) Its official English number name is ten duotrigintillion = 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

July 18, 2007, 08:36 AMYou can also have: Googolplex is the number 1010100. lt can also be written as 10googol, or 10^{\scriptscriptstyle10\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000\,000}

July 18, 2007, 12:23 PMYes, I see Jenny (well almost) every day, not just hear her on podcasts, and I can attest firsthand that she is a genuine, true, real, humble, good person, whom I am happy to know!
