GuzziHero Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Its a basic version of what used to be known as a 'thief taker'. Proper thief takers would have spikes on but obviously, thats not PC for a school Or it could be a subway chin-rest Link to post Share on other sites

aznriptide859 Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 WhutJP, you're a teacher right? Got a question (sorry this observation comes from watching way too much anime XD): I keep noticing when a character says "impossible", it comes out something on the lines of "baka na" or something like that. In Chinese "not possible" or "impossible" in pinyin is "bu ke neng"; I think both in Chinese characters and in Japanese Kanji the writing is 不可能. So, is this phrase borrowed from Chinese? There seem to be more phrases, but I can't think of anymore right now. Link to post Share on other sites

WhutJP Posted March 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 @dstole, I'm on Shikokku, near the top. (Kagawa ken) @anzriptide: I don't really watch a lot of anime, but "bakana" is an adjective meaning "stupid", "impossible" is pretty often said as "muri" (remembering the japanese r's are pronounced halfway between "r" and "l") hito = person baka = stupid na = makes it an adjective baka na hito = stupid person. 馬鹿な人 （馬鹿 ＝ baka) 無理 ＝ muri 不可能 = fukano (it does also mean impossible). I reall should get some pics up I know, I'm a procrastinator hah. Link to post Share on other sites
oikoik Posted March 16, 2010 Report Share Posted March 16, 2010 carry on and procrastinate by all means dear fellow, but please stick anything up i'd love to go back to japan, particularly to visit old friends in kyoto and tokyo, but sterling's value sucks a little more than it used to... i want to be run over by particularly attractive women on bicycles again! i want to tiptoe over salarymen lying on the streets and in hedgerows sleeping off their drink in the mornings again! i want to be shouted at by old men dressed as faintly effeminate cowboys again! okay, perhaps not the latter.
