Question: 

Why does are 晕车,晕船,and 晕机 all with yūn ? My dictionaries all say it should be 4th tone (yùn) for these three words. Also, I actually heard a Chinese person say 晕车 and 晕船 today, and she said it with a 4th tone, which is even more confusing

Question:

What's the measure word for one eye? So, for example, if there is a pirate with one eye, do we say 一个眼睛 ? What's the most common way to say it ? Also, how do we say, "That pirate is wearing an eyepatch" ?

Does 产妇 mean a woman who has already given birth, or can it also mean a pregnant woman, or a pregnant woman in labor ?

yeah, I guess I just like more grown-up material, but perhaps there are others who like children's stories. I'm into grown-up content

I liked yesterday's advanced lesson a lot more than this one because it taught things other than just Chinese, such as the supposed benefits of eating snake. This lesson was too childish for me
