Depends on the tongue

Just about any noise the one doing it wants to make...from all that I have heard. There is NO Biblical justification for what is refered to as speaking in tongues, as it is practiced to day, by many sects.\n\nThe gift of tongues was given to the Apostles on the first Petacost. It was the ability to speak in all the languages of those gathered in Jerusalem at that time for that High feast day of the jews. That is all there was to it.\n\nIf one dose begin to speak in tongues it will be in a known language. If there is no one there to interprt then the one speaking must stop and keep quiet.

Probably not (and you probably mean "ancestors.")\nIt may have been some other lobe-finned fish, or some other fish with limb-like fins.

Nature tells us that homosexuality exists.  Are humans animals?  Are there homosexual humans?  Ergo...?\n\nThe fact that you have not quoted sources is of no consequence to me -- I am willing to take at face value that perhaps the cattle and lizards were setting domination patterns. I am curious as to how the motives of the lizards were determined to be "to humilate"?\n\nty kinney, of course, makes terrfic sense about the differences beetween humans and other animals and would worth be re-reading.  \n\nOf course, without any applicable citation, which would seem to be fairly easy to find, your insistence on the behavior of cattle weakens the argument, particularly when you assert such detail as "the male/male behavior documented never culminates it penetration! therefore it is not sexual in nature."  From your reaction to other posts, I assume you're after some sort of penetration?\n\nI must point out that an insistence on male/male penetration omits other non-dominance behaviors practiced by other animal species, such as courtship. \n\nTREE SWALLOWS:  Full cloacal contact has been observed by Wilson and Bull in  male Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor), complete with  the “ticking” vocalizations which are apparently reserved for  heterosexual copulations in Tree Swallows.  They also note that dominance behaior among Tree Swallows is very different.\n\nLIZARD: A. carolinensis engage in both homosexual courtship and copulation -- with one male exhibiting the male behavior in courting being the mounter and the male exhibiting the female courtship behavior being mounted. Previous studies (Noble and Bradley in 1937) dismissed this as hierarchical behavior, but more recent observations (Cooper, 1977, and Sigmund, 1987) show a more thorough understanding of A. carolinensis society, including polygamy and consistent homosexual behavior in the absence of dominant males.\n\nBISON: Courtship, mounting, and full anal penetration between bulls is common among American bison. My Lakota brothers and sisters call them pte winkte —pte =bison and winkte is the word for two-spirit, their description of the transgendered  in their Nation.\n\nFEMALE CATTLE:  Mounting of female cattle in heat by other cows is common among domesticated cattle.  (Obviously, since no marital aids have been documented, no actual penetration occured.)  The same has not been observed among wild cattle in a study by Queensland College in Australia.  Although stress was cited by the observers, they also admitted the possibility of domestication as a factor -- so perhaps civilization figures into it.\n\nBONOBOS: Barbara Fruth and Gottfried Hohmann observed same-sex genital contacts in wild female bonobos.  They have already been mentioned here, I just thought I would give the citation, even though no penetration happened.\n\nZOO ANIMALS: The penguins, koalas, rabbits and others that have been documented as exhibiting homosexual behaviors have most often come from zoos or domesticated situations.  This does not necessarily indicate a corrupted or aberrant social system, but (Occam's Razor) they can be more easily observed.\n\nHYENAS: Actually, Ploss and Bartels have seen hyenas licking each other's genitals.  Hyenas are of particular interest in this discussion because, according the Bestiary of Barnabus, hyenas were believed to have predominantly homosexual sex, and were associated with homosexuals.  This view was strongly held in the time of Augustine, who was a zealot advocate of conversion.

It depends on what you mean by speaking in tongues.  If you mean the gibberish that no one can understand, no.  If you mean speaking in languages other than one's own, yes.  The gift of tongues is often given to missionaries so they can teach the Gospel to other nations.\n\n"And again, it is given to some to speak with tongues; and to another is given the interpretation of tongues.  And all these gifts come from God, for the benefit of the children of God."\nDoctrine & Covenants 46:24-26

Birds, Definitely. birds, being warm blooded, are much closer to mammals than amphibians. Amphibians only show the faintest glimmer of an R-Complex, known in your brain as a cerebellum - the reptilian part of the brain. Birds, by contrast, have a highly developed R-complex and even show the beginnings of a cerebrum (the big lumpy part of your brain that handles all that rational though stuff). Can you imagine a frog or a salamander uttering, "Polly wants a cracker?" >:)

Mmm... there are many kinds of legless lizards. I don't know where you live, but if it looked like its tail was missing, then it _was_ a lizard, because snakes do not autotomize their tails. Another good detail is if it looked like it had eyelids. Snakes don't have mobile eyelids, but snake-like lizards do.\n\nDid it look anything like this?\nhttp://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/f/f6/200px-Anguidae.jpg\nhttp://homepage.mac.com/jmdelacre/.cv/jmdelacre/Sites/.Pictures/reptiles-geniez/Chalcides-minutus2-web.jpg-thumb_269_202.jpg\n\nI'll check back :-)\n-------------------\nI'm back! Hey, that's great. If what you saw is indeed an Anguidae, the common name is "glass lizard" (glass, because they seem fragile, as they autotomize their tails really easily).\nThe most common species in Florida seem to belong to genus Ophisaurus. I suggest you do an image search using the genus name, you'll probably find the right species.\nOh, glass lizards are not dangerous, but they can bite!\nSee description of common Florida lizards here:\nhttp://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/UW061\nThis species is common:\nhttp://www.wildherps.com/species/O.ventralis.html

Clear speaking language, a serviceable wiggles tongue and or some hanging weight.

Herpes and warts are two different viruses.  They have nothing to do with each other & one does not cause the other.\n\nYou would get oral warts from coming in contact with someone who also had oral warts.\n\nGenital warts can be transmitted to the mouth, but it's extremely rare.  \n\nIt's normal for your circumvallate papillae to be noticeable.  It's unlikely that genital warts would infect the tongue - and that far back.

Tell them that in English the tongue does not touch any part of the mouth. It's a bit curled back.

"Variation in Diet\nAlthough helodermatid lizards are specialists on vertebrate nests, they appear to be generalists regarding the kinds of nests they exploit.\nA diversity of prey species and sizes has been documented in the diets of Beaded Lizards and Gila Monsters.  Although some of these prey items are relatively small lizard and snake eggs, others, such as quail nets and nestling rabbits, are large and provice substantial energy gains per food item.  A meal of cottontail nestlings can weigh over one-third the mass of an adult Gila Monster and provide nearly one-third of a Gila Monster's annual energy budget (Beck 1990; chap. 4).  Along with these energy benefits come the basic mechanical challenges of swallowing a large meal or a hard-shelled egg.  Egg-eating snakes of the genera Dasypeltis and Elachistodon have modifications of the jaws, teeth, skull, and even the vertebrae that allow them to efficiently swallow eggs (Gans 1974). Although helodermatid lizards are not so specialized, they do appear to use a few "tricks" to make eggs go down easier.\n\nFeeding Behavior\nHow Prey are Eaten\nHerrel et al. (1997) describe five stages of H. horridum eating quail eggs: approach, pierce, uptake, crush, and swallow.  A Beaded Lizard first locates the egg, both visually and by tongue-flicking, then rises on its front legs and bites the egg with its front teeth, piercing it without breaking it.  The piercing bite may be repeated several times, yet the egg remains intact.  During the uptake phase, the lizard maneuvers its jaws around the egg by either flicking the egg in the air or pushing it against an object or the ground.  The tongue aids in maneuvering the food object into the oral cavity, but the primary force used during the uptake phase is inertia generated by movements of the lizard's head, neck, and jaws.  Such a feeding mechanism, called inertial feeding, contrasts with lingual feeding mechanisms (using the tongue to deliver food objects into the mouth) shown by most other lizards (Gans 1969)..."\n\nNot information about the actual digestive system, but information about diet and feeding.  This is an excerpt from Daniel D. Beck's new book.\n\nLet me know if you want a photo of a Gila Monster!

no such - the phrase can be found as - advanced mammal like reptile or advanced mammal studies\n\nbut since it is homework then your teacher is probably looking for something like HUMAN as in an advanced ( on an evolutionary scale ) mammal ( teachers can be wrong too )

When you use another persons thoughts, words, etc. but you say it in your own way.\nExample- News Report:Scientists have discovered fossils of a 375-million-year-old fish, a large scaly creature not seen before, that they say is a long-sought missing link in the evolution of some fishes from water to a life walking on four limbs on land.\nYou might say: The fossil of the possible missing link between swimming and walking fish was discovered. This fish has been extinct for 375 million years.\nHope this helps

Tongue action please.

Having anything different about your tounge is going to change how you are able to correctly use it. Two of my friend's girls had their tongue pierced: one had ring and one had the ball. BOTH talked differently afterwards. Also after a couple years, both had to have big dental work done on the teeth the ball and the ring kept rubbing against. One of the checkout people at our local Wallyworld has his tongue pierced and you can hardly understand him when he talks.

It is only my theory, but I think it predates written history.  Biologically speaking our lips and tongues have alot of nerve receptors and take up a substantial amount of "brain space".  So it is kinda like we were made to kiss.\nFYI, there are alot of nerve receptors in the genitals and hands as well.
