A service to the MT community
As a provider of content -- or "content provider" -- Minor Tweaks is known for delivering brief, semi-reliable information in broken English. Which is why we sometimes like to examine the search logs to see how gentle, misguided folks stumble upon this site of web -- or "website" -- using Google or another search engine, like Ask Jeeves. (Although, does anyone really use Ask Jeeves? Come on, be serious.)
A few examples:
-- "how a koala bear defends itself"
A koala bear will often attempt to intimidate a would-be attacker by puffing out its chest and walking on its hind legs while bellowing "What? You want some of this? Let's go, man! Bring it!"
In other cases, the koala bear will roll itself into a ball, covering its face with its paws. Then, after lulling the attacker into a false sense of security, the koala will slash its throat with a bamboo shiv. **
-- "midget impersonator atlanta ga"
I would pay good money to see a midget impersonate Atlanta. Or any other city in Georgia, for that matter.
-- "raewyn pronounce"
This person wants to know how to pronounce the name of the hit single by actor/singer/songwriter/all-around genius Russell Crowe (you can read more about the quiet power of this song here).
I'm glad to help.
Interestingly, the "w" is silent. So is the "y." Actually, all the letters are silent. To pronounce the word, simply place two fingers in the back of your throat: If you begin to retch, congratulations! You’re doing it right!
**Note: Reader Lila G. writes in to remind us that koalas live on eucalyptus leaves, not bamboo, and therefore it would be unlikely that a koala would stab anyone with a makeshift bamboo shiv. Or at least that's what the koalas WANT you to think. They are tricky little bastards, but oh-so cute.
