Funny things at google

This is probably not news for all of you, but in case somone didn't know.

I discovered some strange choices avaliable if you enter Language tools in
Google:

-- Elmer Fudd
-- Bork, Bork, Bork!
-- Klingon
-- Hacker
-- Pig Latin

You also have Latin, which is a nice touch. My daughter who has studied
latin likes that one.

One thing you probably didn't know is thios:

There are two versions of Norwegian available:
-- Norwegian
-- Norwegian (Nynorsk).

We have 2 official languages in Norway, one based on danish, the other
(nynorsk) on dialects mostly in the western part of our country. Choice of
language is often the cause for very heated discussions.

If you select Elmer Fudd as your google language, the two norwegian
selections become:

-- Nowwegian
-- Nowwegian (Jibber Jabber)

I guess the supporters of nynorsk won't be too happy abbout that, if they
knew. I won't tell them.

Ah pity da foo' who doesn't know Mr. T!

80's (I think; possibly earlier, although the influence surely extended
into the '80s if so) American icon. Known for his roles as B.A. Baracus
on the A-Team and whoever the bad guy was in Rocky 3 (I haven't seen any
of that series, so don't complain at my ignorance - be grateful I know
it's 3). Doesn't seem to have done anything notable since, although
hasn't disappeared from the face of the earth, either.

Remember, I've got a debt to pay. It's about quantity, not quality.
