Does anyone have any other wierd sayings like "I'd give my eyeteeth for",or, "they were just milling around",etc, and is there a website to find the origins of such sayings?

Well, on the "eyeteeth" saying, see this site: http://www.randomhouse.com/wotd/index.pperl?date=20010412 My grandfather used to say that he hadn't seen someone or something "in a 'coon's age," meaning, for some strange reason, a very long time. The following site offers many interesting English idioms. http://home.t-online.de/home/toni.goeller/idiom_wm/id13.htm May 27 05, 5:15 PM

Do puppies lose their 'baby' teeth. I've never heard of this but I was playing with my puppy the other day and her tooth just popped out. Can anyone give me any information on this? Having just seen the name again after many years, does anyone know the origin of the weird (in my opinion) name of Teddy Ruxpin (just the Ruxpin bit, of course!) It doesn't even sound like any language I've heard, more like something a computer generated? Does anyone know of a real good website that is free that teaches people how to use 2d AutoCad or any CAD system like IntelliCAD pretty well? I am reading this story called Tower of Babylon. Was there such a tower in history, and if so, does anyone have a website that shows what it looked like?
