Seaching Google in Klingon or Elmer Fudd

Sometimes I wonder how I get to trivial information. Well in the Wikipedia article Google Hoaxes you will find that the Google search engine is valid in a number of unusual languages including Klingon. I’m a Star Trek fan, but that’s going a little to far, however I guess if they create Elvish Language the LOTR people would love it. My favourites are Elmer Fudd and Bork Bork Bork. For those that don’t know this line, it’s famous from the Chef in the Muppets.

 

There are plenty more, I noticed the added Hacker recently. What’s really funny is select a language, then go back to the languages page, and see if you understand the names of the other languages.
