January 04, 2009, 11:24 AMthe term "yankee" has had several meanings, to me, it is what the southerners called the northeners during the civil war. Then the baseball team came along, and they were so good for many years, that"damn yankees" became part of the cultural lexicon
its an interesting word, see...

October 26, 2008, 01:18 PMI was able to translate the words from rjberki's transcript, but I still didnt get the meaning. To me it sounded like the rat sang a song in the ox's ear, then fell off. Then it was explained to me that the Ox ran the whole race with the rat on his neck, and the rat jumped off at the last minute. Oh, now I see the humor in it. :)

October 18, 2008, 03:16 PMSome constructive criticism for chinese pod -- the lesson information and related lesson boxes have various "related" links, but they are rarely link to lessons that are actually related. I would just lose it.

Posted on: Star Trek
September 10, 2009, 11:53 PMdespite its low budget, the original star trek series was special in many ways, it had excellent stories, good music, good characters, etc.., the later series were good, but not special. But I must admit, I am very interested in space and space travel, so I like it all, and I would like it if Chinese Pod did lessons based on actual science too.
