Okay, so maybe I'm easily amused.

But...I just found out yesterday that when using the Google search engine (www.google.com for the unitiated), in addition to the many, predictable world languages which you can select as your Interface Language by clicking on "Preferences" (from Afrikaans to Welsh), there are a few unexpected options, including: Pig Latin, Bork, bork, bork! (a la the Swedish Chef), Elmer Fudd, and Hacker.

So, for instance, in Bork, bork, bork! mode, you don't perform a Google Search, you perform a Google-a Seerch, and look for Seerch Teeps, not Search Tips. If you click on "Pwefewences" in Elmer Fudd mode (that would be "Eferencespray" in Pig Latin mode), since your Interface Language is all Elmerized, the bit on the Pwefewences page where you select Search Language (not the same thing as Interface Language, but instead the language to which you limit the cast of your net) asks you to choose among such languages as Fwench, Gweek, Hebwew, Joimin, and Womanian.

Are you feewing wucky, pwuhnk? Uh-hah-hah-hah....
