Oh, that. Anime is short for animation. But, you couldn't say American anime, anime is only used for Japanese animation. Trigun is a Japanese animation show that was never aired on TV. To watch it, you need to order it. It's rated PG-13, so it's not little younger children's stuff, like Pokemon, or Digimon, or DBZ. It's a TV thing.

I don't mean to be rude, but I would like to ask that you keep the subject on Egypt. If you want to talk about something else, please do so in personal messages or by e-mail. We're trying to keep this as an Egytpain message board, so let's just talk about that.

Thank-you,

I got a book on how to read and understand hieroglyphics for Christmas, so if you want, I'll check my book and try to find answers for your questions. So, fire away.

I bought a hieroglyphic book the other day. It's called "The Illustrated Hieroglyphic Handbook" by Ruth Schumann-Antelne and Stephanie Rossini. It's pretty good so far. It's broken up into three parts, one for the words that are spelled out and then the determinative at the end (A glyph of what the word says). Then there's two more sections, each with different types of words, but I don't remember what they're called. But if you're trying to learn hieroglyphics, I'd recommend it. I bought mine at borders, but they probably sell it at Amazon.com, too.

I WILL CHECK THAT OUT AND SEE IF I CAN FIND IT. DO YOU THINK THAT THEY MIGHT SELL IT AT BARNES AND NOBLE?

It's possible. If you go to their website you can probably search for it. Another place to look would be Ebay. I'm not sure if anyone would be selling it yet, though, because it was just published this year. But if you can't find it anywhere else, you could check there just to make sure.

My book has a hard black cover. I forgot what it says. I'll tell you tomarrow. Gotta go to bed.
