Hey— I remember the old-school warning, where they cut to the colors and it beeps, and I thought that was pretty cool/scary back then. However, I would have been 7 years old when they replaced it, and I can’t remember anything from before then _except_ that EBS thing.

How wierd is that?

C’est l’extrémité du monde comme nous le savons et je me sens très bien.

Thanks much, **gotpasswords**. I knew I’d heard or read all of that before, but none of the details stuck to my cerebellum on their way through my head.

[sub]And welcome to the boards, BTW.[/sub]

On [Dictionary.com](http://Dictionary.com), **“C’est l’extrémité du monde comme nous le savons et je me sens très bien.”** becomes (and I kid you not), **"It is the end of the world like know we it and I smell myself very well."**

[Dictionary.com](http://Dictionary.com) needs some help. I’m assuming you’re quoting R.E.M.?

If not and you really meant what it translated as, I feel stupid.
