okay so that translation-not half bad...i got the idea. some kids in my h.s. used to use babel and my teacher always yelled because of course that's cheating-they argued that it wasn't any different than other kids using a dictionary. she also yelled "didn't any of you read the story of the tower of Babel?!"

what do you mean by, "some kids in my h.s. used to use babel"? is that some kind of secret language high-schoolers use?

haha..dean, come on, only the geeks among us would get that

? I'm confused. maybe its this whomping head-cold. ughgh. I feel like someone inflated my head with something. like maybe a gas of some sort.
update I get it now. by "babel" she meant "the babelfish site". I need to go home and take a nap.

i remember the internet when i was in high school, the only place i could figure out how to go to was webcrawler...and then, i couldn't figure out how to find something that wasn't under construction.
