    Does it have matching shelltub?
  • 8 days ago hernesheir said
    That color green in rocks and sediments may be produced by various minerals containing Mn, Fe, Cl, and others, or by the elevated presence of unoxidized iron. I've seen blue-green sediments like those in the variegated shales of the Morrison Formation near Moab, UT, that yielded blue-green pieces of petrified wood and araucarian seed cones; and in glauconite sands and clays deposited in reducing, oxygen-poor estuarine depositional environments, such as at one Early Eocene locality I visited near Hanover Tavern, VA, that had carbonized fruits, seeds, fern stems, and wood mixed in with shark teeth, stingray plates and spines, and most remarkably, sea snake vertebrae.

    Interesting. I can feed the turtles and click the balls with the Mozilla browser but the Chrome browser has stopped working for those activities.

    Edit: Now working again. I sent a bug report to Chrome and they fixed it.

    Paleobotanists do study coprolites. Thin-sections or acetate peels of the petrified ones can reveal anatomical details of the plant material preserved therein, be it stems, seeds, leaves, flower parts, or even pollen. Mummified fecal remains can be disaggregated and the plant remains isolated by sieving or hand-picking under a dissecting microscope for study as well.

    Glad I could help.
  • about 1 month ago telofy said
    Oh, good.

    I’m a bit unsure about the punctuation in German, hence the en dash. (In analogy with this time-honored em dash rule in English.)
  • about 1 month ago telofy said
    Yep, then “Sie”.

    In Pushing Daisies the translations were “Jetzt sehen Sie mich …” (or “Nun sehen Sie mich …”) and “… und jetzt nicht mehr.”

    My favorite, I think, is “Jetzt sehen Sie mich – und jetzt nicht mehr.”

    Is the reduplication of the “see me” in “Now you see me, now you don't see me.” idiomatic in English? I only know the phrase without the last two words. The difference in sound is about the same in German, I guess. And I sort of prefer the version with “mehr”.

    Are you bringing something to an end? I read a poem about that only yesterday.
  • about 1 month ago telofy said
    Sounds fine to me. The “Sie” vs. “du” distinction, of course, depends on the addressee. She isn’t by any chance a child or a friend of the speaker? (But I could imagine a magician addressing a stranger with “du” as well.)

    But I’d like to first check with the German translation of a certain Pushing Daisies episode, for “Now you see me; now you don’t.” seems to me pretty much a set phrase in English and I don’t know if there is something equivalent in German.

    Please stand by…

As it happens it's peak season now so I bought 2 last Sunday...partly because I'm a certified breadfruit-eating machine, partly because the lady at the market looked so despondent over her pile of unsold fruits. Great timing on your behalf :-) It's a funny strip as well. And the comments today! You know, in Samoa or a place where breadfruit is a staple the strip would read quite differently. I wish we could try it out in the Pohnpei Observer :-7

    "What filling is inside the two round ones?"

    One was chicken, and I think the other was plain cheese. The remaining two in the styrofoam tray on the right in the second picture were, respectively, ham and cheese (the rectangular one), and spinach (the one that looks more golden-brown than the others).

    They were all pretty good, except for the one with ham and cheese.

    I found a bakery where they all seem to be the same shape, so it's purely a guessing game. They just store them on different racks, but when you get them all home it's anyone's guess. But they are much more delicious than the ones in the picture.

    Thanks for your suggestions. You may want to look at the list again, as I've changed it to "Keeping Secrets," more in line with the original intent of the list--which you might find interesting...

    I'm following you around, harvesting some of your Turkish and Hungarian additions for pretty dots all in a row. Thanks!

    Hi, frogapplause, Monovocalic polyglot is now open for business. Thanks for the nudge. I'd been thinking about starting the list, and had even collected a few words like magpapaalam for it.

    frog, where are you getting the wonderful Icelandic words? Or do you know the language?

    Faccia di chiulo cracks me up. So does the strip, it's a doozy!
  • about 2 years ago prolagus said
    Here I am! Faccia di chiulo* is used instead of faccia di culo (ass-like face) and it was for example the way they translated "duckface" (Henrietta) in the movie "Four weddings and a funeral". I'll let you know as soon as I remember more.

    *(Don't forget that in Italian "chi" is pronounced "kee")

    I was looking for your comic strips (I still don't have them on my bookmarks because I'm dumb) and this page appeared, telling me that I'm not a Pro. I AM a Pro! I'm Proer than anyone else here around!

    I like it that you do comedy of errors too. Method acting?
  • about 2 years ago prolagus said
    The other way, frogapplause!

    My contact info was part of a pull-down option under ABOUT. (There's a Flash animation I wrote there too --with glorious closed-captioning!)

    My address for ANY Wordie who has shoecabbage-related business with me is:

    Hi, FA! I couldn't find your contact address on the websites you mentioned, only a box where I could enter my address to have your strips sent to me (but I am already a gocomics subscriber and get them that way).
  • about 2 years ago bilby said
    I love it! *applause*

    Beat me to it, Pro. Was just coming here to post. :-) Nice comic strip, FA.
  • about 2 years ago bilby said
    Thanks frogapplause :-) I've always wanted to be appreciated by a stripper. I'll put the link on my page.
  • about 2 years ago prolagus said
    I'll tell you how to do it. Go to one of the words -Lagerstätte, for example.
    As you can see, just at the top of the comment box there is a phrase,
    Wrapping a word in brackets creates a link to that word on Wordie. Some html is allowed.
    Click on "some html" and you will find the list and description of links you can use.
    Have fun!

    Hi frogapplause! I have been enjoying your comic strip "Frog Applause" for a few weeks now on ucomics. The artwork especially is really beautiful. I have just added your Shoecabbage (clever title!) to my ucomics page. I'm looking forward to following it.

    I noticed that you had asked Darqueau about Slovene shoecabbages, and I wondered if you had meant that query for me. I live in Slovenia and translate from Slovene into English. I'd be glad to suggest some Slovene–English homonyms if you want. In fact, why not start with "some"? In Slovene the word spelled "sem" is pronounced very much like the English word "some" (here the Slovene "e" is a schwa), and means either "I am" (the first person singular of the verb "to be") or "hither, in this direction": "pridi sem" (pronounced sort of like "preet some") means "come here".

    frog: if loosely-guarded rump roast was the only contribution you made to wordie, you'd be up for a hall-of-fame nod, in my book!
