Most Commented Education Blogs (1,147)

Trolling through the blogs today for use of a better word i found nothing new or of interest so I decided to post this blog of useful and or useless information.

Feel free to add your own bits as I intend to update this blog on a regular basis.


"In certain circumstances, a hedgehog may froth at the mouth, twist its head backwards over its shoulder and throw a vile-smelling foamy saliva onto its back. This behaviour is known as self-anointing."

Yes, Merlot has disabled the comments, so here I am giving him a real answer to the question.
You just wait and watch they get screwed up by their own people.
It is as simple as that. This is what some people from the West stand up for, a bunch of thieves and corrupt arseholes. Don't say we didn't warn you from the very start, people.
If not ready to accept the reality nobody can help you!






And one more answer, regarding a country attracting back its own people.
We have the same scheme here, We want our people back and working for our country.
No mysteries or bullshite theories to be chewed up by the CS experts.
I will not engage in endless discussions of facts that are more that clear and real already.
Thank you!

Ok, so you bought a cat in a bag, but the cat is out of the bag now. A cat has nine lives, but there are many ways to skin a cat. Shooting cats is not the answer, but in the end curiosity killed the cat!

10. All cats are grey in the dark – Things look the same in the dark.
11. To be like a cat on a hot tin roof – To be very agitated.

13. A cat can look at a king – Important people are not untouchable.
14. Has the cat got your tongue? – Don’t just stand there. Talk!
15. A cat in gloves catches no mice – To be nice is not always enough.
16. He is conceited as a barber's cat – Very full of himself.
17. I smell a dead cat on the line – Something is wrong.
18. They fight like cat and dog – They fight all the time.
19. He is a fraidy cat – He is scared.
20. You don’t have a cat’s chance in hell– You have no chance.
21. It's raining cats and dogs! – It is raining hard.
22. You look like the cat that got the cream – You look happy.
23. You look like something the cat brought in – you look bad.
24. You look like the cat that swallowed the canary – You look guilty.

A cattish expression? Oh, that is a scornful look on your face!

Stay loose until tomorrow!

Simply weird, or horrible leadership, or intentional malice.

I find it Strange people !will happily buy death wrapped up in packaged processed trays but can't stomach seeing it happen...

I have ! to use a harsh word "slaughtered " birds, fish, and numerous animals for my own family and others and have no remorse for the deed...

We are the top of the food chain and the top preditor ...

We have canine teeth for ripping flesh and although some eat roots ,shoots , and leaves... we are meat eaters...

And yes animals were hurt in the making of this blog !!!

When you think about it, I mean. We write down odd symbols and other people look at those odd symbols and they make sense, create a conversation or a picture.

They can move us to tears, make us laugh, make us understand someone else's life, make us angry.

Odd little symbols which reach across time and space and enter other people's minds. Poetry - literature - a scribbled handwritten note through your door - newspaper headlines -

Sometimes we have to read them two or three times to take in the message. Most of the time, though, the message is immediate. The odd symbols have done their job.

To jest, tylko kiedy czytamy cos, ze nie ma zadnego sensu w ogóle ze nawet zdajemy sobie sprawe, to robimy.*






*It's only when we read something that doesn't make any sense at all that we even realize we are reading. To a Pole, that's the first sensible thing I've said.

To the non-native English speaker, learning English can be a nightmare. Especially when you don’t have a good tutor on standby. Not that my own language is unblemished. We have exceptions to every rule and even rules to those exceptions with their own exceptions.

But what boggles my mind the most about English is how to pronounce the words. Why is it that the ough in similar looking words like cough, plough, through, tough, and though are pronounced different in each case. How am I to know how to pronounce it without the help of a native English-speaking person, bearing in mind that half our English teachers, esp in primary school, could not speak proper English.

As if that is not enough they also invented an animal called phrasal verbs. Things like throw up, throw down, throw in, and throw out. My first reaction will be to believe that throw up and throw down must be opposite actions but vomit and drop are not even related actions.

Next, we have make up, make over, and make out. Make up is such an interesting verb with at least 11 different meanings ranging from resolving an argument to fabricating a BS story.

If make up describes the action of applying facial cosmetics then surely the process of removing it, must be make down and, by the same logic, if shut up is an instruction to keep quiet then shut down must be permission to talk again. Right?

Then I did not even mention talk over, talk into, talk down, talk up, and talk out. Oh, and then we still have take on, take off, take in, take out, take over, take up, and take down. If an airplane takes off from one location, does it take on at the destination? I think not.

The strangeness of it all is that most these phrasal verbs have perfectly acceptable equivalents. Why can’t we rather use them? It is so much less confusing. Oops, was that an oxymoron?

I think I should stop it right here because one thing will only lead to the next and we will be here all day. But all this makes me wonder exactly who invented English and what they were smoking at the time.


You have a good day too.

This blog is inspired by Daniela and Elon Musk.

I listened to a video of EM on his take about AI.

"Artificial Intelligence doesn't have to harm humanity but if man is it's way, it will destroy it. Like ants, we don't hate them, but when we build roads and they're on the way, they get sacrificed. "

This had always bothered me since I heard of this speech. I love Elon, I admire and he gets all my respects, after this I've been disturbed and has so many questions.

I said: "well since AI is created by man, then good man makes good AI as well as bad man with bad AI."

Lo and behold, I read just now that AI can in itself creates its own.

How will this impact the future of humanity? Anyone?

CS really is like a school - all the way from kindergarten to graduation. Okay, an odd one. We have no idea how long we will be here, that first day - a month? Ten years? It takes a while to realize there are no teachers, then even longer to realize we are all teachers.

Some do individual tutoring and some prefer to lecture. Some talk bollocks, some talk sense. All of us are teachers and all of us are pupils.

Of course that could be, well, bollocks. JMO.
