‪י׳ אדר תשס״ז * 28 February 2007: Public Sleeping Day

Greetings.

Note: Again I reiterate, my MUSC E-mail account is scheduled to become invalid tomorrow. From now on, please only send E-mail to my GMail account.

Worthy cause of the day: “Al Gore - Tell Congress to act on global warming”.

Today’s news and commentary:Today’s weird thing is Lost in Translation. This site demonstrates the state of automatic translation technology by translating user-input text from English into various languages and back into English several times in a row. This site transformed “weird thing of the day” into “_ daily disowned of the thing”. Enjoy and share the disownedness.
