    Oh man I need to get my girl a bollywood dreams shirt. Making cash? Sounds like a topic for hotforprofits. She’s how I found Marina in the first place.

      I know James.. I woke up at 5am this morning and decided to check my computer as I had a video on the most viewed page and the other one on page 3 and now both are gone! Arrggh! I hate these technical glitches because now I can’t get back to sleep until they fix it!

        Hi Marina, If you didn’t get a screen shot of “Little Mermaid” the most viewed the other day, I have it here. http://i35.tinypic.com/vnimfr.jpg

        It was up there for a few hours and then disappeared. I thought it would be up there for 24 hours. I’m confused by You Tube’s selections. IT doesn’t make sense a lot of the time.

        Thanks pedantickarl. You have 48 hours to be on that list then you go away. It’s how YouTube creates variety.. because being on that list results in about 25,000 to 50,000 views an hour and if you were allowed to stay there forever you would find that people would stop going to that page, as there would be no change. So to be more accurate… That page should be titled:

        “The most viewed videos that have been on the site for less than 48 hours!”

        But I think that title would not be as interesting.

        Marina, I think that:
        “The most viewed videos that have been on the site for less than 48 hours!” WOULD actually be a SUPER interesting title :wink:

        ,,,or at least it would be interesting for those of us that like precision
        …or to those of us who like tounge-twisters, meaning those crazy little phrases that are so hard for people to say that it “twists” their tounge. For instance:
        –Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
        –How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
        There’s so much aliteration and redundancy that most people get lost with those tounge-twisters :!:

        Maybe another title that could build redundancy up for the
        tounge-twisting crowd would be:
        “Due to the sheer volume of videos, we must act as a valve to prevent violence and give voice to the vision of a vanguard of virile & voluptuous videomakers. Hence, we show the very most viewed videos (inevitably varied) in the last 48 hours.” :lol:

    Does anyone say “Benjamins” ( $100s ) anymore?

    Oh and how about references to gambling lingo:
    I know ‘dimes’ are $10,000, but what about ‘nickels’ and ‘quarters’, if there are any. Would ‘quarters’ refer to a quarter million? :???:

    Have you heard the saying “catch 22″??? I would love to know where it came from :-)

      From Wiki:

      Catch-22 is a satirical, historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller, first published in 1961.

      There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle.
      “That’s some catch, that Catch-22,” Yossarian observed.
      “It’s the best there is,” Doc Daneeka agreed.

    Is there a relationship between engine (early spelling “engyne”), gynecology, and gene? All derived from greek (?) meaning woman and all having a sense of “generating.”

    Hi Marina,
    I was wondering what is the true meaning of the kuchen. I know when I had taken German classes it meant cake but where I am from it means pie?
    All confused up in the north,
