hmm, yeah, thats probably true. it was great, my friend was once trying to chear me up because of something and he went onto the omputer and tried to translate "Don't Worry" inot russian, except the dictionary did something wrong, and it said:
"Ne Moochaisa. Ya Yeme"
which means, "dont worry, i eat"
