Sophie Reade
''Big Brother 2009'', also known as ''Big Brother 10'', was the tenth series of the British reality television series '' Big Brother''. The show followed a total of twenty-two contestants, who were isolated from the outside world for an extended period of time in a custom built House. Each week, one or more of the housemates were evicted by a public vote. The last remaining housemate, Sophie Reade, was declared the winner, winning a cash prize of £71,320. The series launched on Channel 4 on 4 June 2009 and ended on 4 September 2009, lasting 93 days – the joint-second longest British edition of ''Big Brother'' to date (together with the seventh and ninth series, and one day shorter than the eighth series).

Dogface (military)
Dogface is a nickname for a United States Army soldier, especially an enlisted infantryman. The term gained widespread use during World War II. History The term "dogface" to describe an American soldier appeared in print at least as early as 1935. Though its precise origin is uncertain, contemporaneous newspapers accounted for the nickname by explaining that soldiers "wear dog-tags, sleep in pup tents, and are always growling about something" and "the army is a dog's life . . . and when they want us, they whistle for us." During World War II, the nickname came to be seen as a self-appointed term of endearment for soldiers, but as an insult if used by others, such as United States Marine Corps personnel. In media In 1942, Bert Gold and Ken Hart, two members of the United States Army Air Forces, published a song called "The Dogface Soldier," which one newspaper called an "authentic foxhole folksong." The song became the theme of the 3rd Infantry Division and was featured in t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Dogfaces (comics)
Dogfaces is the term used by fans to designate the anthropomorphic characters and extras in comic books, comic strips, and animated cartoons. Dogfaces usually resemble cartoon human beings, but with some special characteristics: * They have four digits on each hand and as few as three toes on each foot. * They have the round black noses typical of dogs (in one ''Mickey Mouse'' comic strip, the statue of a Middle East ruler had a nose that was a giant black pearl). * They have ears that are either pointed or droopy, like a dog's. * They often have a prominent overbite. The most famous dogface is probably Goofy. Bill Farmer, an actor who voices Goofy in cartoons, suggested that Goofy is "the missing link between dog and man." Cartoonist Don Rosa apologized, tongue-in-cheek, for turning Theodore Roosevelt into a dogface for the sake of consistency in the biography of Scrooge McDuck.
