Yes, i got a page on www.bruhaha.de, saved it locally, but as it is in
German, I did not want to link to it. And it is a bit difficult to go
online while being somewhere far away from my telephone connection

evening...)

BTW, once i tried to translate a paper about the tower of London using
Babelfish. It became "Der Aufsatz von London"! LOL.
