Mar 30, dara rated it liked it Shelves: read-in An amusing mix of informative and completely useless trivia meant to disgust and disturb--perfect for sharing with others. I now know that one can stop hiccups by massaging the rectum, but I hope I never actually utilize this information. The chapter on germs had me cleaning at three in the morning and paranoid about using grocery carts; the chapter on bugs made me itch; the chapter on death just made me uncomfortable with its descriptions of decaying and embalming.

My friend and I read this book together during our lunch break and it made us laugh This book isn't ground-breaking in any way, but it had some interesting facts of random knowledge. Jul 06, Don Voorhees rated it it was amazing Shelves: read-since-may , reference , science. From trivia expert Don Voorhees, Disgusting Things: A Miscellany is the ultimate book of outrageous, revolting, and repugnant trivia, a collection of equally upsetting and intriguing facts that will leave the reader grossed out—and wanting more.

Edith's Miscellany

I'm hearing too much lately about spouses who failed to recognize an indicative bid. Blades In Washington, D. Cards "On Dec. Gemmill after hearing her plea: "More married couples should hear your story. There you have it. This, combined with my earlier post on activities I wrote for iTs magazines brings to a close the materials fire sale here at Six Things. Hope you enjoy it! Well, I have to admit I have been a bit naughty recently and not updated this blog, and with so little time left!

Anyway, as promised I do have some more guest posts.

This is a really nice one from Darren Elliott, a teacher based in Japan and owner of the Lives of Teachers blog. Darren has had the chance to get a great many people in ELT in front of his video recorder and asking them questions his latest great interview was with none other than Michael Swan. But not everyone! Darren, over to you…. This is not a guest list for a dinner party, and I have stretched the definition of ELT people to its outer boundries.

But I think each of these people would have something to contribute to our knowledge of the profession. Some of these might be a little trickier to get hold of, but you never know…. Rod Ellis. Like notable compatriots Paul Nation and Scott Thornbury, Professor Ellis has the ability and drive to communicate research to teachers at the chalkface. Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons, I would like to ask him if all this SLA research has anything at all to do with what goes on in the classroom, and if he could tell me once and for all what I am supoosed to do in the classroom…..

Nozomu Sahashi. Nova also had dealings with the unions over its drug-testing, health insurance, and non-fraternization policies. To be fair, many teachers in Japan got their starts with NOVA, and I have met many with fond memories of their time with the company. Sahashi-san is currently appealing against a three and a half year prison term handed down for embezzlement.

I would like to ask him how NOVA got so big, and how he sees the future for this model of national chain school. GEOS, another major chain, collapsed this year, and enrolments are down across the industry. Is this due to the return of Japanese insularity last year there were only five Japanese at Harvard, compared to thirty-nine South Koreans?

Are students getting more savvy, more discerning, or using technology instead? Or is it just another symptom of the economic times we live in? Lev Vygotsky. Why such interest in a Russian psychologist, seventy years after his passing? Actually, a little more cross-pollination from other disciplines would be healthy for ELT in general. Jean-Paul Nerriere. Nerriere is not a linguist, nor a teacher, but a businessman, and he sees the world in those terms. He represents all the language learners and users who have no interest in drama, dogme or dictation the kind of stuff we teachers love but just want to be understood as soon as possible.

I would ask him what he thought I could do to help him and his peers achieve those aims. Penny Ur.

My teaching style and circumstances have changed somewhat over the years, but I still have this book, and I still look at it. Ragsana Mammadova.

I could have thought of sixty or more…. We played this game during a whole summer intensive course!
