Yes, I have similar experience. My major languages: Vozgian, Motyak, Slopik, Hattic, and Askaic, gave the following results: - Vozgian: nothing - Motyak: reference to a lady called Patti Motyak - Slopik: a certain Bill Slopik + some unclear material - Hattic: references to the ancient language Hattic - Askaic: rubbish, including one porno site...

Then I thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe." --- J. Michael Straczynski __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
