    I was being curious and looked at the "Language Tools" from the Google search page and you can configure your Google Interface language preferences. There appear to be some really weird languages including "Bork Bork Bork!", "Elmer Fudd", "Hacker", "Klingon" and "Pig Latin".

    This leads me to ask: How many people here are fluent in these languages and why would anyone want to choose one of these languages in preference to their native language?

    It's not as though I could walk through New York or London speaking Klingon expecting people to understand what I'm saying... or maybe they do! :)

    jlSuDrup, as they say in Klingon ;)

    Well I heard about some soldiers in WW2 that had to use Pig Latin. They were in a truck going through a gate to get on base and a Japanese soldier was hiding in the back and they wanted to alert the sentry. So they said "ookga ina ackba".
