I once described flip books to my wife; an animation method using sequential pictures drawn on pads of paper. By flipping each page in rapid succession, you can create simple, 2D movies. She had this to say about it:
THE WIFE: “It is like Thumb Kino!”
(Apparently, “kino” means “cinema” in German.)

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
A thumb cinema is called flip book? That is hilarious!
Isn’t it funny how different objects are named in different languages?

Funny blog, keep it up! Don’t get this one though, what’s so funny about the word “Kino”?
And just to be precize (yeah, I’m german): “Kino” means “cinema”, not “movie” (=”Film”).
