Uncle Sam
*A legendary figurehead of the United States. Although mythical, he is reported to have been a real person. Uncle Sam is basically a tall man with white hair (with a white goatee), dressed in the Red, White & Blue, with the Stars & Stripes as a huge hat. Uncle Sam, along with this description, is commonly portrayed as this old-looking, but tough-as-nails, figurehead pointing at you, the viewer of the poster, and below it he's saying "I Want You".
Uncle Sam basically represents the US Government, although he greatly represents the US Military.
*Sam Fisher's alias in a mission during Splinter Cell : Pandora Tomorrow.
*An appropriate name for anyone in the military named Sam. This name may not be appropriate for females named Sam though.

Medal of Honor
*The Congressional Medal of Honor is the US's highest decoration for military personnel. To achieve the Medal of Honor, you pretty much have to display absolute fearlessness & bravery, heroism, and superhuman capability against an enemy of the United States. The MoH has only been achieved by very few, but there will be more in the future.....however, to achieve the Medal of Honor, you have to display the traits that have just been described, and perhaps even more traits and capabilities.
The Medal of Honor is a commendation higher than the Distinguished Service Cross (see DSC).
*A WWII-genre videogame series, spanning different consoles & storylines, created by Steven Spielberg!

"Medal of Honor is a kick-ass game. Call of Duty kicks ass too. ^-^ What both have in common is that they're educational. ^_^ "

feng shui
fahng-shwei
fuhng-shwei
fehng-shwee (my pronunciation)
The Chinese-originated belief that the environment gives energy that you can use to your own being. Not just a belief; it actually is real.
There is actually a whole LOT to feng shui, but you should look it up on your own. Lemme give you some examples:
Take for example, a mansion. Let's say you have a mansion and it is very-well decorated. Your feng shui would be great because you feel at great leisure because of the cleanliness & well-designed room of your own.
An example of negative feng shui would be if you live in a house that is not apt to your tastes, and is possibly filled with trash, or perhaps even an enormous pig-sty. This negative feng shui will possibly foster laziness, and even psychological results such as negative emotions, doubt, etc.
Feng shui deals not only with your personal shelter, but also the environment in general.
Most unfortunately, feng shui has been perverted into a drug-related symbol thanks to the hippies, along with the yin-yang (which basically represents good & evil in us all). In otherwords, when you speak of feng shui to the general public, you're probably going to be prejudged as a nut-job. Sad really.
Hippies need to realize completely what yin-yang and feng shui mean. THEY ARE NOT DRUG SYMBOLS. They are philosophical symbols that originated from ancient China, and these symbols have deep backgrounds that is worth researching.

"My house is a pig-sty so my feng shui is horrible. But sometimes, you make do. If you want better feng shui if you're in a pig-sty house, go outside and go for a walk. Just make sure you don't get too addicted to the freedom out there, or else you'll never want to go back to your pig-sty home. That's how I am."
