Yeah, that whole Colossus The Forbin Project non-privacy, track-your-every-move thing seems to be working like a charm.
While at the office yesterday, I went to empty a Gmail account, but when I clicked from the main page to the login page I got this…
(Click to embiggenify.)
I am confident that no one in the office speaks…whatever that is. Hell, most of us barely speak English. Smooth. Yeah, after seeing this I’m sure we have nothing to worry about with our alien overlords combining all the tracking data across their multiple platforms.
What could possibly go wrong?

Looks Polish, but isn’t. Not Romanian either.
I also speak barely English but it would be bad if I couldn’t understand most of what our Croatian (Yugoslav) South Slavic brothers have to say.
Croatia used to be the most frequent tourist destination for Czechs, after all, before it was replaced by somewhat more expensive countries. I have been there many times.
A week ago, climate skeptic Fred Singer got a spam in Slovenian, another – EU – Yugoslav language so he immediately forwarded it to me, apparently convinced that I am responsible for all spam in the world that is written in a Slavic language.
Thanks Lubos, I wouldn’t blame you for any Slavic spam.
Although you might want to take credit that Polish bodysuit spam I posted this morning. Just sayin’
I like that Croatian for ‘password’ is ‘zaporka’, made me snicker
DB, I’ve got something coming later that will really make you snicker–and it’s not even Engrish. This spam I get is the gift that keeps on giving.
An aside—I haven’t said this before when Lubos has visited, but, HOW FUCKING COOL IS IT that a world class physicist takes time out from real, actual work–and the occasional punking of Naifs like Brian Cox–to stop by here, check out the babes, and translate spam.
It’s like having Feynman come by to play the conga drums after reducing Kip Thorne to tears.
Thanks, Lubos.
I fucking RULE.
Whatever it is, I like the word for password: zaporka! At least, I assume that’s “password” in the screengrab.
“Give me your zaporka and I’ll transfer the funds!”
“Damn, I forgot my zaporka! Now what’ll I do!”
It translates to “top” in Slovenian. Hmmmm?
I saw that article on Hawkings getting his joint serviced at a swingers club! No wonder he’s always got that happy, drooling grin on his mug! The little fucker is probably remembering the no-doubt excellent stiffy massage he got the night before…
I also didn’t know he has been divorced – twice. I bet the wives got tired of polishing his knob.
Yeah, McGoo. All those batteries and stuff in the way.
But it raises an interesting point…What noises does that computerized voice simulator make when he’s getting his wazzle washed?
I’m sensing a YouLube video in the making.
It’s Croatian, and reads something like this.
