Doesn't the word siesta has the same meaning as the phrase 'forty winks'?

mclarensmps · September 4th, 2008, 05:18 PM

Why would you wink 40 times? images/smilies/tongue.gif

M3_Powered · September 4th, 2008, 08:55 PM

Why wink at all?

mclarensmps · September 4th, 2008, 11:57 PM

Don't you, like, need to wink?

edit: wait... that's blink -_-

Homer_Bart · September 5th, 2008, 05:05 AM

Don't any of you understand what 'forty winks' mean?

Vambeer · September 5th, 2008, 07:01 AM

Could you explain to me that i don't?

Lupin_IV · September 5th, 2008, 07:04 AM

How does someone from Singapore know that getting forty winks means taking a nap when there are native English speakers here who don't?

Homer_Bart · September 5th, 2008, 07:31 AM

Maybe it's because I have a talent in Engrish? images/smilies/tongue.gif

Is English a better language then Chinese?

Vambeer · September 5th, 2008, 11:33 AM

What kind of silly question is this?!

M3_Powered · September 5th, 2008, 01:35 PM

Very silly, do you agree?

mclarensmps · September 5th, 2008, 03:58 PM

How would you define a "better language"?

(Also, I know what "40 Winks" is but saying so wouldn't have made the game interesting would it?)

Cobol74 · September 5th, 2008, 11:58 PM

Is English the ubiquitous language, but not necessarily 'better' than any other?

Does it really matter when we're going to die from an expanding micro-black hole from the LHC in a few days?

Timbits93 · September 6th, 2008, 04:11 AM

Well where is this LHC?

Nereid · September 6th, 2008, 10:26 AM

American TG Man, do you actually think that's going to happen?

Vambeer · September 6th, 2008, 10:29 AM

Am i weird for thinking that this is an awesom way to go?

American TG Man · September 6th, 2008, 03:36 PM

What could be more awesome than dying in a black hole?

Dying by tying your head to a tree and driving onto public roads at speed in your Aston Martin droptop?
