What is a 'bed'?

I teach English in Japan.

I'm making picture cards of nouns based on a theme. I'm currently preparing a set about furniture.

To help, I search the Internet for example images of 'bed'. What is a good, unequivocal, typical image of a bed (for Japanese kids)?

Try this for yourselves. Search on any noun via the images option.

The results are good, bad, indifferent and WTF?

[anawestar2007]

Bring back slavery.

[1010011010is29a]

@azazel637 Don;t be fucking tosser. Slavery is currently of the type, "economic", which gives a way out to everyone equally for those that seek it. So, in short, go fuck yourself imbecile. Consider yourself slightly more educated.(/lesson)

[Parksissexy]

can someone tell me what the name of the intro music is?

[InfectedDaemon]

Better than "prescottic" is "Bushwacky". Now there is a new word if I have ever seen one, and undoubtedly it will last 2000 years or more!

By the way, thanks for the videos! Their awesome.

[garwaymatt]

I *have* to use prescottic more...

[layne316]
