Her name is Marina, she’s 27 and she’s a philologist! Now you might be asking what the heck is a philologist? Well, it’s someone who studies linguistics and etymology.. and in Marina’s case.. she has applied her Philology degree to specializing in word origins.
She had been featured on shows like O'Reilly, G4 TV, Spanish TV, Maxim Sirius Radio, Fox TV, and Wired Magazine's Sexiest Geek.
Yours truly has been a active participant in her website blog. About 4 times a week she makes a new lesson in a requested word. She plays this game where you have to guess the origin of that word. It's always very entertaining.
I see she brings light to the subject of Philology that never have been done quite like this before. I didn't even know the word Philology before her videos. Now I find myself diving into Philology almost daily. I prefer nautical terms. I find them very interesting how they evolved.
I recommend you visit her site and watch some of her lessons. You might learn to view.. oops.. learn a few things.

P.S. Yes, I know, Her name is even nautical in nature.

Thanks Jack,
Is she marriage material?
I don't know about that but she is still Single.
Was she one sheet to the wind when she shot this video, or is she always like that?
Not that I mind or anything! :-)
You know it does look like she is. Well you just have to watch here newer videos. She is doing a much better job at it now. Even today she make all her own videos, updates here site, answers her own emails, makes appearances at shows, does all her own research. Yea did I miss anything? She is a one women band.
