		So the Egyptians developed a shorthand out of their pictures, in which a picture of a single-syllable word could stand for that syllable whenever it occurs in a word.
		The Egyptians never indicated vowel sounds in their writing, so the picture of a cat actually stands for the syllable "ct." So the word "cut" would also be written by using a picture of a cat, and in the word "recite," the last syllable would also be a picture of a cat.
		So the Egyptians would add a picture at the end of the word to identify the word; "recut," for instance, might be followed by a picture of a knife, "recite" might be followed by a picture of a mouth.

		The sport of speed walking is thought to have evolved from the meditation process of "walking like an egyptian".
		Egyptians were required to at a fast pace as the sandy ground was hot on their feet.
		In most speed walking competitions, Chuck Norris is nowhere to be seen (unless he happens to be visible at the competition, then he is most definately there, and not a sub-spacial being.).

	Walking Canes & Walking Sticks from WalkingCaneWorld.com
		Over time, the walking stick gradually began to be known as a symbol for power and strength, and eventually authority and social prestige.

		The use of the word cane for a walking stick began in the 16th century, when bamboo and other tropical grasses and reeds began to be used as shafts.

	hum 110 Kouroi Lecture fall 1995
		The Egyptian connection is particularly attractive as the suspected earliest appearance of the stone kouroi in Greece of around the middle of the seventh century occurs soon after Greeks were first allowed to settle in Egypt in return for having served as mercenaries.
		Though I have no doubt that a Greek, when looking at an Egyptian sculpture like this one, would have thought he or she was looking at a walking figure, this is almost certainly not the way an Egyptian would have thought about this work.
		All three figures shown on the screen, like the almost 200 others that have come down to us whole or in fragments, are nude youths, not men, for example, because they do not yet have the adult beard, who stand stiffly while striding with their left legs forward.

		if an image were to be derived from what they chose to show, it might have something to do with some of the titles: the unknown hero, protest, execution wall, the big letter, sunny august, battle, we are the last ones, nightmare, last supper, wall of hostages, and ashes to ashes... yes, heavy.

	Walking like an Egyptian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Walking like an Egyptian is a comic means of walking with one's limbs in angular positions resembling the posture of figures from ancient Egyptian reliefs.
		Most likely the earliest form of this walk was the Egyptian Sand Dance, a 1930s comedy routine by the music hall trio Wilson, Keppel and Betty inspired by the surge of popular interest in all things Egyptian in the United States and in Europe, especially following the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun.
		Steve Martin's 1978 comedy song "King Tut" was based on a dance similar to the Egyptian Sand Dance; part of a Saturday Night Live comedy routine which capitalised on the renewed interest in Egyptian art during a blockbuster traveling exhibition of Tutankhamun's funerary cache in 1976-1979.

	Shop Like an Egyptian (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Shopping for Egyptians ranges from the street bazaars in central Cairo for the poorer residents to shopping malls equivalent to those in wealthy countries complete with restaurants and play areas for children.
		Most of their customers are Egyptians and vendors are not likely to speak English.
		Egyptians will also shop in small neighborhood stores, although this is more difficult for tourists since most of the staff or shop owners will not speak any language other than Arabic.

	Walk like an Egyptian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Walk Like an Egyptian" is the name of a U.S. number-one hit from the Different Light album released by The Bangles in 1986.
		The reference to the sand dance is possibly a reference to a music hall routine performed by Wilson, Keppel and Betty where Wilson and Keppel danced around in the postures portrayed on the reliefs wearing the fez while Betty watched.
		"Walk Like An Egyptian" was one of a List of songs deemed inappropriate by Clear Channel following the September 11, 2001 attacks, presumably due to its reference to Egypt.

	Walk like an Egyptian - Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
		Walking like an Egyptian is a form of meditation, similar to that of Zen.
		Olympic speed walking is a modified, simplified form of the Egyptian Walk that lacks much of the elegance but preserves the traditional quick pace of the Egyptian Walk.
		The researchers (the very first Egyptologists) spent considerable time at the Pyramids analysing the tomb paintings to learn all they could about the Walk, and they paced around inside the Pyramids perfecting the Walk and getting into the groove.

	Tutting Information
		In the early half of the 20th century, these poses were performed by various groups for comical effect (see the article Walking like an Egyptian).
		Tutting as a whole or certain tutting moves have been referred to as 'King Tut'; it is likely from this colloquialism for the Pharaoh Tutankhamun, as a representative of ancient Egypt in western popular culture, that the form gained its name.
		For this reason, Tutting is sometimes incorrectly identified as the related cultural phenomenon "Walking like an Egyptian".

	Walking Cane Information
		An important consideration in choosing a cane is to match the cane with the user's body size, so that the cane becomes the key to better mobility and safety for the user.
		Canes are not designed to substitute for bearing all the weight you normally would on your legs, such as crutches but to provide you with an extra foot on the ground for balance.
		Called an ice pick or ice grip, these can be flipped down for a better grip on snow or ice..

		Near the Plaka, an old area consisting of classical ruins that have been fenced off while archeologists do their thing, there are curbside merchants hawking everything, T-shirts, handbags, cameras, fruit, and ferryboat tickets to other far-off places which we made use of when we left Athens.
		Greece also has an extensive system of fast electric and diesel trains linking their half of the country that is mainland based, and a system of colossal ferries linking the rest of the island-based population to each other like gigantic Greyhound buses.
		When I walked from Waukesha it was to commemorate their walk as an authentic part of local Black history, lest we forget.

		Then she finds she has lifted her hands and is squeezing her right fingers tightly as she listens, and smiles, but frowns slightly with the effort of trying to sit still, and concentrate intently, and nod, before she places her hands back in her lap, turning one thumb around the other.
		She knows how he'll do it, gingerly, without looking, sometimes holding on to the banister with one hand like an old person should really, even though even since Ronnie began to tackle the stairs like that, it just became one his ways, just something that any little boy might do.
		Wasn't there the time she picked up an acquaintance's document holder, or artist's file, whatever it was, and flung it out of the door on to the pavement, but lacked the presence of mind, then, to close the door after him when he went to retrieve it, something she regretted for a long while.

	Guggenheim Collection - Artist - Giacometti - Woman Walking
		This sculpture is conceived in the rational and formally serene mode Alberto Giacometti pursued concurrently with his dark Surrealist explorations of the subconscious.
		Woman Walking has none of the ferocity of Woman with Her Throat Cut, though both works were executed during the same period.
		Giacometti is known to have copied works of art at the Louvre, during his travels, and even from reproductions, showing a preference for models characterized by a high degree of stylization.
