About this site
This site is a little project that lets me make fun of some things and sense of others. I use it to think a little more relationally without resorting to doing actual math.

Oh my. Definitely one of my favorites.

store-brand Rice Krispies that have been on the shelf too long.

Of course those are english onomatopoeias.
October 1st, 2009 at 3:00 pm
Ha! Definitely brightened my day.

@Mike: do you know non-English onomatopoeiae? Please share! The only ones I know are that French cows go “buuu” and a handful of Japanese ones like “doki doki” and “guru guru”
Don’t zap-gurgle-croak me, bro!

@PKM:
I know German ones.
Uhu for eagle owls (they ‘makin this sound, look at the latin name bubo bubo :D)
Lots of word children use are onomatopoeiae, like wau-wau (pronunciation sowthing like wow-wow) for dog.
And there are some like Klick, Bang or miau…

In Hebrew, schilshul (sp?) is what happens when you have too much prune juice.

I guess most every language has them (not necessarily tasers and hair dryers, though).
I know quite some in Polish and Danish, but most of them are only remotely possible to pronounce.

When I saw this I first thought it said ‘death by toaster’. Works equally well I think
October 10th, 2009 at 9:00 pm
ha ha! i also read it as death by toaster until i saw Sonny Downtown’s post
