Buddy The Woodsman
''Buddy the Woodsman'' is a 1934 Warner Bros. ''Looney Tunes'' cartoon, directed by Jack King. The short was released on October 27, 1934, and stars Buddy, the second star of the series. Summary A tree comes down in a forest and several lumberjacks hack away at it with their axes. To the side, two lumberjacks, one a muscular man, the other one rather scrawny, chop at a tree, but only the larger man makes any progress. The skinny fellow prances off to a tiny sapling and with some effort chops it down, only to end up with pieces of it stuck to his head. The pieces resemble antlers. The lumber men have several inventive methods for chopping trees: one, involving a tractor-like vehicle with a large saw protruding from its side, leads to the felling of a guard tower in the forest! The scene switches to Buddy, who, upon chopping a tree with his axe, sends such a shake upwards that a mother and father bird are forced to remove their nest and babies from the tree top and carry the nest e ...

The Bear Went Over The Mountain (song)
"The Bear Went Over the Mountain" is a campfire song sung to the tune of For He's a Jolly Good Fellow which, in turn, got its melody from the French tune Malbrough s'en va-t-en guerre (Marlborough has left for the war). The public domain lyrics are of unknown origin. Bing Crosby included the song in a medley on his 1961 album '' 101 Gang Songs'' and it is from Kidsongs. It is also a piece of background music from Animaniacs. Possible origin Deitsch folklorist Don Yoder postulates that the song may have its origins in Germanic traditions similar to Grundsaudaag Groundhog Day ( pdc, Grund'sau dåk, , , ; Nova Scotia: Daks Day) is a popular North American tradition observed in the United States and Canada on February 2.

Sneeze
A sneeze (also known as sternutation) is a semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth, usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa. A sneeze expels air forcibly from the mouth and nose in an explosive, spasmodic involuntary action. This action allows for mucus to escape through the nasal cavity. Sneezing is possibly linked to sudden exposure to bright light, sudden change (fall) in temperature, breeze of cold air, a particularly full stomach, exposure to allergens, or viral infection. Because sneezes can spread disease through infectious aerosol droplets, it is recommended to cover one's mouth and nose with the forearm, the inside of the elbow, a tissue or a handkerchief while sneezing. In addition to covering the mouth, looking down is also recommended in order to change the direction of the droplets spread and avoid high concentration in the human breathing heights. The function of sneezing is to expel muc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
