| You may be right. It may be "horniest". The word certainly does come from "horn". |

I found Ulan Bator, but maybe that's anglicized.
also...
Definition: [adj] made of horn (or of a substance resembling horn)
[adj] having horns or hornlike projections; "horny coral"; "horny (or horned) frog"
[adj] feeling great sexual desire; "feeling horny"
source: http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/horny
I am now writing to Dave's World Records to see if Ulan Bator and horny have ever been put together in a post. |

If anyone does know anythng about Mongolia please drop a little hint. I want to go to Mongolia to see the Great Wall of China. Everyone who sees it comes from the Chinese side, I want to stand underneath it and yell, "LET ME IN!"
Just a thought. |

I saw an ad for Mongolia about 3 years ago, and it was extraordinary.
They emphasised the following points:
a) The salary was $50 (yes, fifty) per month (but it's enough to let you live like a king, or so they said)
b) Free accommodation and internet
c) The teacher much be able to withstand extreme cold
d) The teacher must like his students
e) Mongolia is a rewarding place to live |

| There is an ad up running currently for Mongolia on the Job Board. Santis Educational Services, they are the same company that runs Inlingua. It doesn't say how much they will pay, but it says $900 at the completion of the contract. If I didn't love where I was right now so much, I would probably look into it, how many people in the world can say that they lived in worked in Mongolia? To me, this is what teaching english abroad is all about, boldly going where no man has gone before... Oh no wait, that's Star Trek. |

at least you KNEW what I was talking about, did you? GIve me the benefit of forgetfulness of how the newest spelling ought to be;
and, BTW, why didn't you pick on the OP for his bizarre spelling of "Mongolia" in the title? |

horny coral: 'hey, baby, come here often?'
There are no known species of coral in Mongolia.
Nor to my knowledge, are there any robot chicks. But I could be wrong.
I will refrain, with a great display of self restraint, from going into the history of the Klingon head crests.
But strangely enough, weren't the original Klingons sort of based on Mongol warriors? The dark skin, long skinny mustaches?
I recently met a guy from southern Russia. His people are a sort of remnant of the Mongol Hordes. He said Ghenghis had light colored eyes. The guy I was speaking with had them too. Not exactly blue, but more grayish. Looked pretty cool.
There are also people related to Mongolians in Eastern Russia. Same language group. Since I never made it to China, I'm looking forward to Buryatia. |

| There was a show on British TV recently about a tribe in Mongolia where the presenter lived with a Mongolian family for a while. He could not believe how cold it was (bear in mind that he was British...) and how bleak their little Mongolian lives were. In the cities it�s apparently a lot better. All the women he saw looked like total munters, however. |

Pretty much, but more often used by men to refer to women. Most likely heard in certain parts of Essex. |

There was a teacher who is currently in Mongolia who responded to one of my posts about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Sorry, I can't recall his username or the name of the thread.
It was something about "critical mass in language learning", I believe.
I found it, his or her username is Lyov. Kind of Russian sounding.
You might get something a bit more useful than the information that has come up so far.
Best of luck |
