I was looking through the language options of google today when i noticed, amongst, you know, french and spanish and whatnot, "¡Bork, Bork, Bork!"
curious, i clicked..
http://www.google.com/intl/xx-bork/
and then did a little research to learn that this was in fact a version of google translated into the language of a muppet character.
i was also happy, and relieved (how did i ever live without this...) to discover that there´s a muppet wiki..
http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Swedish_Chef
oh, but it gets better... when i went back into the language ops to get back to english, i noticed there was also an option called "hecker bork-bork-bork" (in bork bork bork, of course.. plain old "hacker" in english) which appears to be written in l33t.
http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/
... just in case searching the internet in plain english wasn't geeky enough.

Wow.
Bork is very common where I work.

The Google guys are cheeky geeks with lots of free time on their hands, which I guess explains the TWO versions they put on.
More fun with "languages" and "Google":
