You Know Google is Too Rich and Overstaffed When...
Kevin Maney writes: ...well, when it creates a version of Google in Pirate language. As the Google blog points out: "If ye're a gentleman or lady o' fortune yerself -- or just want t' talk like one -- ye c'n set Pirate as yer preferred lingo usin' th' Likes an' Dislikes page."
And, truly, if you now go to the Google language tools page, right there between Persian and Polish is now Pirate. This is not the first pseudo-language to get adapted for Google. In the list is also Esperanto, Hacker, Bork! Bork! Bork!, and Elmer Fudd -- on which the traditional Google buttons say, Google Seawch and I'm Feewing Wucky.
