    well, just like it sounds...."Im Batman"

    maybe i could break it down for you.. Im = a contraction for "I" + "Am"

    and a noun Bat= Any of the various nocturnal flying mammals of the order Chiroptera, having membranous wings that extend from the forelimbs to the hind limbs or tail and anatomical adaptations for echolocation, by which they navigate and hunt prey.

    and finally "Man"= An adult male human.

    there you go.. i laid it out there for ya, you can put it together! k thanks

    if needed help still is required visit www.dictionary.com

    OH YA, this has nothing to do with sun tzu! i just wanted to make sure about that

    99.9% of Sun Tzu is common sense.

    99,9% of everything that works is common sense - just goes to prove that the 'common' part is a misnomer.

    I know that this second part was a joke, but because that last thread had a lot of folks with a 'traditional European' grasp of Asian geography and history ("China, Japan, India... Where's the difference?"), I'm just going to end this tangent right now:
    Sun Tzu was a philosopher who lived around 500 BC in the area that's nowadays China. After having become aware of his interest and insight in military strategy, the king of the country of Wu, one of the small constantly warring states of that time, made him general of his armies, which led Wu into an era of military predomenance.
    In other words, Sun Tzu, author of 'The Art of War', does not equal Miyamoto Musashi, the 'Book of Five Rings', who was in fact a Samurai.

    Disregarding this semi-pointless rant, carry on <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
