Google Speaks In Tongues.

elfie_chanToday, Alex's computer was blessed by God with the ability to speak Hawaiian.
Actually, Alex's computer is blessed with the ability to poke its own buttons randomly when the lid is closed. By doing this, it cleverly converted Google's language to Hawaiian. Alex and I just spent a merry few minutes exploring the many language options. These include such traditional languages as Yiddish (arranged properly on screen from right to left) and Uzbekistani, ranging wide enough to include Klingon, Esperanto, and Elmer Fudd, as well as L33T (Hacker) and Swedish Chef (bork bork bork!).
It makes sense for Google to have many language choices, as Google is used all over the world. However, I suspect that some of those guys over there are saying things like, "Hey,I'm bored. Let's throw some more options in here and see if anyone notices!" Then they snicker quietly to themselves.
To fully implement this particular Google delight, click the link marked "Preferences" to the right of your Google search bar. Then, go to the drop-down menu under "Interface Language" and go nuts. Be sure to check out Google in Latin! Favente Fortuna! Needless to say, my Google is now permanently in Latin. I feel so L33T!
In other news, my toughest finals are done, and they weren't half as difficult as I thought they would be. Yay for overstudying! My paper is also turned in.
Now, more video games. Or maybe dinner. Ovae sound good.
