That inventor thought it would be interesting to build a language based on the sounds that chipmunks make because they use voiceless sounds - clicks and hisses and pops. He wondered if you could create a whole language without vibrating your vocal cords. It sounds very strange. I've never heard a natural language that sounds like it, but it still seems like a system.

We must do what we can to save and preserve Spare Change as a forum for homeless concerns, and a voice “for those who had been voiceless.” In many ways, Harvard Square is a haven for the homeless. Harvard Square Homeless Shelter (HSHS), the only entirely student-run shelter in America, has provided beds, food, and social programs—including health services, jobs, and permanent housing—to homeless people for over...
