i am quoting here.....'' do you know that in the Navajo language it is impossible for a person to say...the horse kicked me?''
you have to say..''i let the horse kick me.''
otherwise you are implying that the horse is smarter than the man, which is an impossibility to them...... imagine that........unquote.......found in snowboarders magazine...march2002 issue....page164

Hehehe, Mindboxer, that's close to being right --- I never knew that Snowboarders magazine was a good source of linguistics lessons, LOL! In Navajo, the natural world is seen as ranked hierarchically. It's a little hard to explain though: it's not so much that one kind of creature (eg, a human) is smarter or more advanced than another (eg, a horse); it's just that they are thought to have more independent will, if that makes any sense. The creature who is ranked higher is in control of the situation, and therefore is the subject in any sentence, while the lower creature is the object. Thus: The man allowed the horse to kick him, rather than the horse kicked the man.
Too late at night for me to launch into a proper explanation of the ideological significance of this way of linguistically ordering the world. The SFC Institute of Linguistics will, however, return sometime later with an explanation of how the Hopi categorize every object by shape and conjugate verbs accordingly, or some other equally inane piece of trivia, the moment something triggers my automatic lecture mode switch again! *giggling*

Speaking of dated palindromes...
A couple of months ago we passed:
2002 20/02 20:02
In a little over 110 years, it will be:
2112 21/12 21:12
And that will never happen again. Useless, huh?

If you do a Google search on "pleximorph", it will find exactly one reply.
P.S. "pleximorph" has become my new favourite word for exactly that reason.

Sorry to say this, Kimmer, but it's not impossible. It just requires a lot of dexterity and a very limber tongue (says he with the wet elbows).

The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters per second squared.
this is the kind of stuff you have flying through your head if you are a physics major.
