What's ventriloquism?a little story...
Ventriloquism got its start in ancient times, somewhere around the sixth century BC, it is believed, when it was used to supposedly communicate with the dead. The first known ventriloquist of this type was Louis Brabant. He was in the court of the French King Francis the First. It became a widespread belief that the spirits of the dead went to the stomachs of the prophets and continued to exist there. The prophets were then able to foretell the future by the spirits who were speaking from his or her belly. Hence the name "ventriloquist" which means "belly speaker" in Latin. Of course, it was the prophets themselves who had learned the art of ventriloquism so they could fool their listeners and claim to have divine powers.
people were so .... not very clever I think!
For a long time, ventriloquism was viewed negatively by the Christian church.. Finally, though, it was looked upon as simply being a form of entertainment.Finally, at the end of the nineteenth century, a comedian came up with an act which he performed with his dummy.Russell became known as the "father of modern ventriloquism."
And jeff Dunham?
Jeffery "Jeff" Dunham is an American ventriloquist.
Achmed, the Dead Terrorist is the skeletal puppet of an incompetent suicide bomber. He is used by Dunham to perform comedy based on the contemporary issue of terrorism. He is known for yelling, "Silence! I kill you!" to Dunham and people in the audience who laugh at him.

In America, and now in our favorite college, when someone tells you "silence, i'll kill you" everyone know that it refers to Achmed and laugh.If not, he's got to see it!!
