hen there's Melissa Officinalis. Good old Linnaeus had a way with words.

I knew someone names Melissa once.

She was an official too!

Yup, holding the blanket, doing things with words, bantering with Charlie...

Oh, you mean the other Linus guy...

Then there's Melissa Officinalis. Good old Linnaeus had a way with words. Some you can even pronounce!
Swedes are capable of pronouncing things that ordinary humans cannot.

I speak Swedish without an accent, but I wouldn't recommend most people trying that. You could sprain your tongue.

For fun, go to translate.google.com, select English to Swedish, then type the number "7." Once you have the translation, which obviously won't look any different, click the button to hear it pronounced.

Then try typing in "Seven seasick sailors in a sinking ship." Listen to what that sounds like.

Google 'copies' Apple, loses prototype phone in San Francisco bar

Apple's former CEO, the late Steve Jobs, accused Android of being a stolen - and copied - product,
and now Android has gone and copied Apple again. A Google employee left a prototype LG Nexus 4
device in a San Francisco bar, reminding us of the two times that Apple employees did the same with
prototype iPhones.

Reports of the event were reported by Wiredon Friday, and if you think that Google would play things

any different than Apple did, you'd be wrong. Google issued legal threats to Jamin Barton, the 500
Club bartender who simply found the phone.
