Naef Holz Kollektion: Naef Toys Architect Wood Collection
1 recommendation
"My head just exploded by my excitement over this "toy". More like a learning tool. I've had a recent compulsion to learn how to identify trees. It grew out of a disappointment that I live on a block with trees, I see them every day and have no idea what the are. I've got pine tree down, but that's it. Oh, and palm tree...easy. Plus, as an artist, when I go to get work framed I'm completely ignoran..."

"Colloquial Icelandic: The Complete Course for Beginners" Daisy Neijmann
1 recommendation
"There is not a ton of stuff out there to teach you Icelandic, but this book with accompanying CD is excellent. Let's face it, only a few hundred thousand people in the world speak Icelandic, so your local bookstore is not teeming with books to learn it, like with Spanish, French or Italian. No matter, this is an invaluable book if you're planning a trip to Iceland (it helped me get by, especially..."

Atlas of True Names

"Quite possibly one of the coolest, most interesting things I've ever seen! I want this map so badly, as it mixes some things I absolutely love: languages, etymology, and geography.

Whether it's Chicago's original name of "Stink Onion" or, even better, Yuc..."

hilariously un-PC.
2 recommendations
"I know -- it's not nice to make fun of other cultures... but the Japanese have a tendency to throw random words onto shirts, sneakers, and advertisements just because they're English. It doesn't matter what the word is -- it's English. Well... welcome to Engrish.com, a site dedicated to highlighting the funniest examples out there. If you're over 18, go to the "Adult Engrish" link. Good stuf..."
