Does anyone know what that paper (origami style) game was called, where after folding, we could slip our fingers into the 'pockets'...?
Am finding this tricky to describe, I must say... The main gist of it was; upon folding this "thing" there would be four surfaces where we would write or scribble the actual colour on with a crayon or whatever etc. Once you had created this wonderful "thing" you could approach your buddies and first ask them " which colour do you choose?" then you would spell out the colour, at the same time,with your fingers opening and shutting this "thing" Next, after the spelling, a number would be exposed, to which would be asked"which number do you choose? Then you could open up a flap to reveal a particularly poignant adage , along the lines of,,, Ink pink, you stink! Or, You eat worms! you know, really "deep" stuff. What are they called and if you know what I'm talking about,,,what did you write in yours???

I have recently watched a TV programme about exploring the wreck of the Titanic. This was done using two Russian submersibles called 'Mir'. I believe the Russians also had a space station with that name. What does the name mean - to be appropriate to machines that go both into the depths of the sea and into space?

ok my little brother is having a grammar problem and i really want to help him, here is the problem... for his homework he has to find a double constanant for each letter of the alphabet (e.g)
E= seen (the double ee in seen)
B= rabbit (the double bb in rabbit)
O= soon (the double oo in soon)

etc it says in his jotter that there are only 7 constanants that cant do this (e.g)

V V
K K
W W
X X

the problem is we have found 8 and are finding it impossible to narrow it down to 7.

thanks!

I've searched online and the majority of results on google were for 'Thing'. Can anyone point to a reliable source for which is correct?

Forums with people arguing over it aren't useful, but encyclopaedias and dictionaries would be good sources.

A as in apple? B as in boy? C as in cat? Is this right? and can someone do the whole alphabet. I believe the military uses this and people use this when exchange letters/spelling on the phone. I know V as in Victor is correct.
