Beached Seal zooms in on Klum's bum
Monday, August 4, 2008
Singer Seal manages to beach himself in the perfect position to get a close range snap of his wife's rear end, as the pair holiday together with their family.
German supermodel Heidi Klum was happy to give her novice
paparazzo hubby a helpful pointer in which direction to point his lens as she posed on the sun-
drenched beach with her fish net.
Nearby sunbathers were allowed to witness the couple's photography class on the shores of Porto Cervo in Sardinia as they attempt to fill the holiday album

drench
Word History:
Drink and
drench mean quite different things today, but in fact they share similar origins, and, historically, similar meanings.
Drink comes from a prehistoric Germanic verb
*drinkan, from the Germanic root
*drink- meaning "drink." Another form of this root,
*drank-, could be combined with a suffix
*-jan that was used to form causative verbs, in this case
*drankjan, "to cause to drink." The descendant of the simple verb
*drinkan in Old English was
drincan (virtually unchanged), while the causative verb
*drankjan was affected by certain sound shifts and became Old English
drencan, pronounced (drěnchŏn), and, in Middle and Modern English,
drench. In Middle English
drench came to mean "to drown," a sense now obsolete; the sense "to steep, soak in liquid" and the current modern sense "to make thoroughly wet" developed by early Modern English times.
Drink and
drench are not the only such pairs in English, where one verb comes from a prehistoric Germanic causative; some others include
sit and
set ("to cause to sit"),
lie and
lay ("to cause to lie"), and
fall and
fell ("cause to fall").
