An odd but amusing thing that has been happening lately is that the Weather Channel website has been showing up in foreign languages for the last week, Spanish, French, and Asian language I didn’t from the characters, and now Portuguese (I think, the funky marks on abbreviations don’t look quite Spanish). if this is a virus, it is one of the more amusing ones. ---

You should check out this weekend. Saturday afternoon they’re calling for a 60% chance of Romanian with some sprinkles of Bulgarian likely after sundown.
