 Okinawan Karate   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Okinawan (Okinawan: Ucinaaguci) is a Ryukyuan language spoken in Japan on the southern island of Okinawa, as well as the surrounding islands of Kerama, Kume-jima, Tonaki, Aguni, and a number of smaller islands located to the east of the main island of Okinawa.
Okinawan dialects retain a number of old grammatical features, such as a distinction between the terminal form (終止形) and the attributive form (連体形), the genitive function of が ''ga'' (lost in the Shuri dialect), the nominative function of ぬ ''nu'' (Japanese: の ''no''), as well as honorific/plain distribution of ''ga'' and ''nu'' in nominative use.
The Okinawan word for the Okinawa language is "uchinaguchi." "Uchina" is the Okinawan word for Okinawa and "guchi" is literally mouth.

 Dangermouse - Encyclopedia Glossary Meaning Explanation Dangermouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Dangermouse is a British animated series which was produced by Cosgrove Hall and illustrated by Arthur Ranson.
The show is a loose parody of British spy fiction, particularly James Bond and the Danger Man series starring Patrick McGoohan.
This causes problems for those translating the series into other languages, where a literal translation of the words "Danger" and "Mouse" do not share those initials; the Scots Gaelic version, for example, calls the series (and the lead) "Donnie Murdo" (two given names unconnected either with mice or danger).
