ewok


Do you see any resemblance?

So this is my 10 year old puppy, Tobi. He's well known amongst my IMAC biatches. He's quite sickly (by sickly, I mean he coughs a lot cuz of his bronchitis and he's got bad allergies) so if any of you know a dog sitter, holla'!



So ewoks...

Did you know that Ewoks from Star Wars episode 6 spoke tagalog? I'm serious... Look!


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewok#Language

The Ewoks speak "ewokese".

Some have noted that certain phrases uttered by the Ewoks resemble other languages of Earth, such as Tagalog (the major basis for Filipino, the national language of the Philippines). The Ewoks seem to say "Ayon, puno daw ito!" when C-3PO is being worshipped. "Ayon, pinuno daw ito!" means "There it is! This is said to be a leader!" in Tagalog. "Puno" is a root word - from it comes pinuno, "leader", and pamumuno, "leadership". Immediately after, another Ewok replies with, "Maganda!" meaning beautiful. Also, when an Ewok is hit by a AT-ST laser, his companion (probably Wicket) apparently says, "Patay!", which is Tagalog for "Dead!".
